By their very nature clubs have a broad range of experience amongst their members. Usually it falls to a small group to lead hikes or organise climbing days. To share responsibility and up-skill club members it may be necessary to take some formal training. Training courses teach skills, give confidence and help build a healthy dynamic in the club.
"I've done an MS1 course, but I still won't navigate......" "I'm never really sure if I'm setting my anchors up right"
Keeping things simple and a small amount of structured practise will pay dividends for you and your club.

Training Courses For Your Club
My club navigation days concentrate on developing the skills within the group. Sharing that skill set and then developing it further. Everyone feels that they are part of the process….ands we have a laugh doing it.
Climbing training is no different, reminding people of the fundamentals and equipping club members with the skills and tools to share their talents and experiences is all part of what the day is about. All of the courses I provide can be delivered for clubs. All the courses can be adapted to suit your specific training needs.
Training Grants For Your Club.
