Why do your Rock Climbing Development Instructor assessment course with Climb365?

Climb365 has been a Mountain Training provider courses since 2006 and we draw on a wealth of experience.

The courses will be jointly delivered by Stuart Carter and John Kettle who is a registered course director.
Stuart is also a moderator for Mountain Training and brings great depth to the course and deeper knowledge of the range of schemes available within Mountain Training.

“I did my Mountain Leader training with Stu and Bryan at Climb365 and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Their knowledge and rapport with candidates was top class even when the weather was grim. I felt happy to be out and learning really useful skills.”……. Paul Tierney (Record Wainwright holder)

John is an extremely highly regarded coach and Mountain climbing Instructor and holds the Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor qualification.  John is also a provider of the

UK’s Coaching Awards and delivers nationally recognized CPD for coaches, and has also published a book on climbing technique.

“What John has done for my climbing in just a couple of hours has completely revolutionized the way I think about moving on rock. I jumped literally two grades overnight and I now have a far deeper understanding of what really makes a skilled climber. If I were to think about all I’ve spent on climbing gear over the years then I’d consider a few sessions with John to be my wisest investment. Being coached by John is like being coached by Yoda” ……. Mike sport and trad climber, on his way from 6b to 7b

We bring to the course not only a vast level of training and coaching experience but we also run many actual sessions for real climbers, both new to lead climbing or progressing through the grades.

As a result of this, we deliver courses that are practical, simple and give you effective skills to develop your rock climbing sessions.

We have spent a lot of time analysing best practice and strive to for excellence throughout our courses.

We aim to deliver courses in a clear and thought-through style, that is progressive and structured and yet flexible enough to allow discussion and new ideas. We understand that candidates have different learning styles and we aim to deliver our courses to reflect this.

Accommodation

We run the Rock Climbing Development Instructor courses as non-residential. That way we can meet candidates at the crag and spend more time at the venue.

We do have a friendly dog on our courses called “fly”, if you do not like dog’s please let us know and we won’t bring him along.
