Who is it suitable for?

The Climbing Wall Award (CWA) is an award for people who want to supervise groups on indoor and outdoor climbing walls and towers. We offer both the 2 day training course and 1 day assessment course.

The CWA covers party supervision, safety and coaching movement skills. Please note that our CWA training course excludes the abseil module.
