Course or workshop description
RCDI assessment in the Lake District. Esther will be joined by Stu Carter from Climb 365, and we're committed to providing a high quality assessment with a supportive atmosphere and clear, individualised feedback. This assessment will run over 3 days, with candidates being assessed both on their own and while working with mock clients on trad and sport crags. Detailed course notes will be provided well in advance of the course, and an online Zoom session will be provided free of charge before the assessment, to make sure candidates know what to expect and are fully prepared. There will be lots of open discussions in a supportive environment, and we always aim to be welcoming and supportive to everyone that attends, that includes all genders, those from LGBTQ+ communities, under-represented backgrounds in the outdoors, and neurodiverse people. Please let me know when booking if you have any additional needs, or would like to discuss anything before the course. Crags used will vary depending on the weather, and will likely include central lakes crags as well as crags on the outskirts of the lakes. We will share the crag options with you before the assessment so that you can prepare for those venues. Car shares can arranged, and please let us know if you are arriving by public transport. Before booking this course you must: - have attended an RCDI training course - prepared thoroughly for both personal trad/sport lead climbing, and for teaching clients Before attending the course you must: - have completed the MINIMUM prerequisites and logged these on your DLOG. Details of the above can be found on the Mountain Training website.
