Award Description
This qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required to teach lead climbing skills on indoor or outdoor artificial climbing walls and structures with fixed protection.

The Climbing Wall Development Instructor qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required to develop climbers beyond the basic skills. This includes teaching lead climbing on indoor or outdoor artificial climbing walls and structures with fixed protection.
This one day Climbing Wall Development Instructor assessment starts by looking at your personal climbing and then looks at your ability to supervise and teach others.
You will be required to demonstrate your personal competency before moving onto showing your ability to structure and deliver lead climbing sessions and manage the progressions in an informative, enjoyable and safe manner.
