The Mountain Training Coaching Awards represent an opportunity for those working at all levels in the climbing world to access training and assessment on their coaching ability. The Coaching Award Scheme is designed to develop the coaching skills of those working in indoor climbing walls, sport climbing and bouldering. Whether you'd like to coach the next climbing superstars, or simply create fun and engaging skills-based sessions, the Coaching Award Scheme is a great way to improve your climbing coaching skills. The scheme may also be of great interest and value to volunteer and professional leaders, Instructors and Guides. 

The FOUNDATION COACH AWARD 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.

The DEVELOPMENT COACH AWARD focuses on the development of climbers over a series of sessions. As a coach you will add to your existing coaching skills and learn how to deliver ‘climber centred coaching’ to individuals as part of a group.
