CPD Workshops for NICAS Coaches (April–June 2025)
At NICAS, our charity’s aim is to develop climbers through quality coaching – and supporting our centres to deliver top-quality instruction is at the heart of what we do. By setting clear standards for coach training and qualifications, we aim for NICAS sessions to not only build technical skills but also inspire and empower learners to reach their full potential.
We encourage coaches to go beyond the minimum requirements of our schemes, continuing their professional development to enhance their skills. That’s why we’re proud to support high-quality training opportunities from trusted partners like Mountain Training.
