About

Rock climbing Instructor assessment Climb365 will cover the cost of your entry fee into the climbing wall. Rock climbing Instructor assessment course details Our Rock climbing Instructor assessment courses are another opportunity for you to learn. Whilst assessing, we are always chatting through ideas and offering tips to help you improve. We are looking for good, sound, safe instructors. We are looking for people to be at the Rock Climbing Instructor standard or above and with an open mind to learning. As assessors, we are also continually learning and even though we have been fully qualified MIC instructors for many years we are still open to new ideas. So an ideal assessment goes something like this: You are showing us that you meet the single pitch award requirements and are climbing well. We will endeavour to give you ideas to think through, move you on and hope that you come out of the assessment process with more ideas, a greater breadth of experience and feel encouraged to continue learning and maybe go onto the summer, winter Mountain Leader or Mountain Instructor Award. So what happens if things don’t go quite as planned? We really understand assessment stress. People react differently to being assessed. We try and find what works for you and seek after your best performance. In practical terms, this means that we try and coach and give you as many opportunities to see that you have the understanding of what’s required. A quote from our assessment guidelines. “Wherever possible, should a candidate not demonstrate the level required for SPA assessment we show them where they have gone wrong and give them an opportunity to prove that they have understood and learnt from the feedback and coaching. We endeavour to make opportunity on the 2nd day for you to demonstrate these learned skills.” This is our aim! We want you to show us the best of yourselves. On a Rock Climbing Instructor assessment course, it’s easy to make little mistakes and not be clear. Our aim is for you to relax and show us that you are able to be a safe, good, motivating, encouraging instructor. We believe in ongoing learning. We see the Rock Climbing Instructor assessment course as being another chance to learn from your peers and our coaching input; also to question the skills learnt on Rock Climbing Instructor training and to end the Rock Climbing Instructor assessment course with more working knowledge and applicable skills.
