The Rock Climbing Instructor training course will include 8 hours at an indoor wall. This full day workshop aims to explore indoor climbing topics appropriate to the delivery of the training course.

 These events will add to the knowledge of existing Single Pitch Award providers and course staff who are switching over to delivering the new qualification and they are an opportunity for Mountaineering Instructors to increase their knowledge of the indoor teaching environment. The emphasis of the day will be on collaborative discussion between the attendees to pool collective knowledge and experience.

 Although a member of Mountain Training England may well be present attendance is not accredited by Mountain Training. This workshop is only for Mountain Training England Single Pitch Award providers and course staff currently working on Rock Climbing Instructor courses. It will be held at The Quay Climbing Wall on 1st April 2018 between 10am and 5.00pm.
