Whats involved?

The first thing to do is to register with the MLTE, Mountain Leader Training England.

You should check you have the required experience to attend a SPA training course and fill in your log book. You then attend a two day training course which will cover the SPA syllabus followed by a consolidation period and then SPA assessment.

A typical two day SPA training course will cover group management, supervision and safety, belaying skills and setting up top ropes, coaching skills, group abseils, personal leading and belay construction, emergency procedures and access and conservation in the crag environment, climbing walls and their use.

A two day assessment course assesses the candidates ability to safely run a group climbing session by assessing skills learnt on the training course.
