The BMC FUNdamentals 3 workshop covers the WHAT TO TEACH in climbing movement skills, plus some additional relevant information.
Where existing instructional courses (CWI, RCI, MCI etc) focus on keeping people safe in various environments, the FUNdamentals are more focused on how people move on the wall. There is a massive crossover with the Foundation Coach Award, which looks at the "how to coach" aspect but FUNdamentals 1 covers aspects such as:
> Climbing in steeply overhanging terrain
> Advanced climbing techniques including heel and toe hooks
> Making 'simple' techniques more complex
> Dynamic climbing
Prowess Coaching is an official provider of these workshops and is highly qualifed and vastly experienced in the field of climbing coaching. FUNdamentals 3 is a one-day event and is a mix of classroom based and practical learning (as practical as possible) so bring your rock shoes and get ready to get on the wall! However don't expect us to be trying super hard. The focus is on teaching the basics to beginners although as this is advanced climbing, it is recommended participants can lead 6b or boulder V3. In the event of injury - or even if you choose not to climb - there is no requirement to climb at all, although we generally find most people are psyched to get on the wall.
These workshops are stacked with useful information to help you with your clients (or even your own climbing) but are all delivered in a super relaxed, super chilled out environment and are generally very well received.
*Please note that in order to attend FUNdamentals 3, each particpant is required to have completed both FUNdamentals 1 and 2. There are no other pre-requisites
