I started many years ago with the CWA and CWAb. I then started to run my own climbing classes for children and also introduction to climbing sessions for adults. I had climbed outdoors a few times and started to wonder if I would ever be good enough to do the SPA. Eventually went for it and loved the experience. I attended the assessment with just the right amount of climbs logged and ended up getting deferred on my gear placement. This was a big learning curve for me as it showed me that just enough wasn't enough.
I remember someone asking me, after i got my SPA, would I be doing the summer ML next? Mountain Leader? Me? Haha, no chance. I dont know the first thing about it. Then I tried hill walking! Oh my gosh! There is a whole different world out there!. Skip forward a few years and I am now a qualified summer ML.
I use my quals to provide people with fun climbing and walking experiences. I also provide navigation training as well as outdoor education
I am now working towards building up my experience to be able to attend MCI training and hope to have gained the qualification in the next 5 years (by end of 2026)
In 2023 I started working on NGBs including Mountain Leader, Hill and Moorland Leader and Lowland Leader. Really enjoying this and is definitely where I want to see my business going. I have also recently been awarded a provider of the Hill & Mountain Skills Personal Courses which is a great step forward for my business and something I am very proud of.
In my spare time I am constantly trying to improve my flora and fauna knowledge, environmental and geology awareness and am learning BSL (British Sign Language)
Oh and I also have Paddlesports Instructor and Axe Throwing range master quals.
It's been a great journey so far but I still feel I have so much to learn and discover about myself and the world around me :-)

I have known Sean for 4 years through his occasional employment as a freelance instructor at EICA Ratho where I hold the position of climbing instructor supervisor. Sean conducts himself as a professional with excellent verbal communication skills and delivers his instruction with a structured and considered approach. He takes his own personal development seriously and is always keen to find out about new developments and opportunities for progression. Activity sessions that I have observed Sean running have always been appropriate for the client, interesting, fun and safe. I would consider Sean as a suitable candidate for the CWLA scheme.

Sean has experience in instructing, coaching and leading of groups of all ages and experience; I have personally observed his indoor classes where he shows a real flare for coaching; this is reflected in the enthusiasm and ability of his students, some of whom are as young as 6. A excellent communicator and organiser, Sean meticulously plans his sessions, ensuring that he has everything in place for the session to be enjoyable, fun and progressive for the students; very enthusiastic, Sean is passionate about his personal climbing and his coaching, always looking for ways to improve his personal climbing and his coaching ability. Sean is a enthusiastic, confident and more importantly safe and competent climber, instructor and coach and I have absolutely no reservations endorsing Sean for CWLA training.
