Award Description
This qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required to supervise climbers on purpose built artificial climbing walls and boulders. The scheme does not include the skills and techniques required to teach lead climbing.
About
The Climbing Wall Instructor (CWI) Assessment at Calshot Activities Centre is designed to confirm that candidates have the knowledge, technical skills and judgement required to independently supervise and instruct climbing and bouldering activities on artificial climbing walls and purpose-built bouldering venues. [mountain-t...aining.org]
During the one-day assessment, candidates will be evaluated against the Mountain Training syllabus through practical scenarios, group management tasks and professional discussions. Assessors will look for safe and effective decision-making, strong ropework and belaying skills, the ability to manage participants in a variety of situations, and an understanding of operating procedures within a climbing wall environment.
