Become a Climbing Instructor

Do you want to turn your passion for climbing into a career? or introduce people to climbing? or do you want to help a qualified instructor run a session adding real value?

To become a climbing instructor you will need to attend a training course, these are between 1- 3 days long. You will then need to practice and observe others working, before you’re ready to come back for an assessment. Assessments are 1 – 2 days long. (The Mountain Training Indoor Climbing Assistant course is both training and assessment in one day)

There are a number of options depending on the type of climbing you would like to be able to instruct/coach. All course have minimum experience requirements, these can be found in detail on the specific course page.

Mountain Training are the awarding body of climbing qualifications, I am an approved provider for their climbing training and assessment. To become a provider I went through a vigorous application and screening process. Mountain Training quality assure my courses yearly to make sure I stay inline with their high standards.
