Qualifications and Training

January 1, 2009 redirects No Comments

RCC is a provider of the Single Pitch Award, Climbing Wall Award, and Climbing Wall Leading Award, through our partnership company, Plas Y Brenin. These are nationally accredited qualifications that allow you to instruct others climbing in a variety of settings.

The Single Pitch Award (SPA) is the course for you if you want to teach others to climb on outdoor, single pitch crags. Currently these courses are booked through our Harrogate Centre. The Climbing Wall Award (CWA) allows you to inctruct others on indoor and man-made structures, and is ideal for teachers and youth workers wanting to get their groups involved in climbing.

New for 2011, the Climbing Wall Leading Award is a bolt-on to either the SPA or CWA, and allows you to teach lead climbing indoors.

Plas Y Brenin will also run Rescue Emergency Care First Aid courses at RCC. These are a great compliment to a climbing qualification, and gives you the practical skills to deal with real life emergency situations.
