Award Description

The Climbing Wall Instructor Abseil (CWI Ab) module, is an optional module undertaken by those involved in the Climbing Wall Instructor scheme. It's aim is to train and assess people responsible for supervising abseiling from climbing walls. Some Climbing Wall Instructor providers will offer the Abseil Module as part of the main training course if the facility they are planning to use is appropriate.

This module is optional and is designed to equip Climbing Wall Instructors with the skills and techniques required for managing top-roping and abseiling groups on purpose-built artificial climbing walls and structures. Awareness of the skills outlined in the main Climbing Wall Instructor syllabus is assumed and not repeated here. 

SCOPE OF THE SCHEME A qualified Climbing Wall Instructor who has gained the Abseil Module can: Run top-roping sessions. Run abseiling sessions. Manage groups safely in these activities.
