Arrampica CWA and CWAA Training Courses

Mountain Training Instructor Courses

Arrampica are an approved provider of Mountain Training courses.  We were one of the original providers of the climbing wall qualifications and have trained and assessed hundreds of people to safely conduct sessions.

Mountain Training (www.mountain-training.org) is the collection of awarding bodies for skills courses and qualifications in walking, climbing and mountaineering in the UK and Ireland.  All of Mountain Training’s nationally-recognised schemes are designed to educate and train people so that they can safely enjoy climbing walls, crags, coast, hills and mountains while being environmentally conscious.  The Mountain Training qualifications are ideal for anyone with an interest in climbing, including volunteers, youth workers, outdoor instructors and teachers.
