Foundation Coach award

Courses available 23rd and 24th June

A Foundation Coach can help new and improving climbers with the fundamental movement skills of climbing. Foundation Coaches typically work with a group of individuals and may coach underneath a more experienced Development Coach. This official Mountain Training qualification is designed to enable coaches to be more effective in coaching the fundamental movement skills of climbing. Foundation Coaches will usually be concerned with the stimulating delivery of a single session to a group of individuals.

These courses are occasionally hosted at Boulder Brighton - see the Mountain Training Website for details of the course:
