All Beyond The Edge CWA/CWLA courses will be provided by Danny Brown and based primarily at The Foundry in Sheffield (courses including the abseiling module will take place at Redpoint in Birmingham)
This is a new national award accredited by Mountain Leader Training England. The course aims to enable candidates to organise climbing wall sessions with attention to safety, enjoyment and maximum activity of students, whilst respecting the rights of other wall users. Before attending a training course candidates must have registered for the CWA, be aged 17 as an absolute minimum, climbed on 3 different walls on 15 occasions and have led climbs. One of the walls visited must be a major public venue. .
IMPORTANT - You will need to register with the relevant training board eg Mountain Leader Training England, Siabod Cottage, Capel Curig, Gwynedd, LL24 0ET, 01690 720314, www.mlte.org. You will be provided with a syllabus / prospectus and a log book to record your climbing / supervisory experience.
CWA training (part 1): A 2-day course looking at all aspects of coaching climbing on artificial structures. Does not include access to / from the top of the climbing wall environment.
CWA training (part 2): A 1-day course looking at access to/from and safety issues at the top of a wall. To include: personal safety and abseiling with groups.
CWLA (Climbing Wall Leader Award): A “bolt on” to the CWA or SPA which allows the holder to teach clients how to lead climb on walls.
A 1-day course covering all aspects of the syllabus. Candidates will be expected to have met the current requirements as set out by the MLTE and have completed a training course or have gained exemption. Logbooks should be sent to the assessor one week before the course commences. The assessors will aim to reduce the pressure of the assessment situation and introduce elements of training so that candidates can further their knowledge.
Please note that CWA Part 1 must be successfully completed before you can be assessed for Abseil Module Part 2. It is possible to complete both in 1 day – however, if you book the combined assessment, there will be no discount should you fail to pass Part 1.
