CWI Training & Assessment

“right blend of fun, informative and challenging ” – Jin Sandhu – Director of Kiln Worx climbing wall Stoke on Trent

We arranged our CWI + Abseil training with Mark in March 2019 and it was very well delivered. Mark was willing to answer our questions as we gained experience and trained towards our assessment and buying our equipment. Even on the assessment with Mark we were still learning top tips. We have had loads of fun and passing this course improved Fiona’s job opportunities at the centre where she worked. Thanks Dave and Fion

Summer ML – Tailored assessment preparation day

Many thanks for helping Jo with fine tuning her preparations – I know that she found your input very useful and we are delighted that she has passed – Dave Clarke Hampton School

Sea kayaking day

We were total beginners and full of apprehension, but Baggy talked us through all the equipment and safety guidance which reassured us we were in safe hands

The day was so interesting and fun thanks to Baggy’s instruction and tips, so much so we all wanted another day! A great day out with an excellent and safe instructor – Greame Stanford

First Aid

I think I can safely speak for all when I say thank you for an excellent course very well run, a nice pace and very clearly put across. The Zoom part was a little tricky at first but we soon got into it and in my opinion added some fun. Thank you very much – Colin ( centre manager

The course was excellent, well facilitated and catered to our individual backgrounds and experiences. extra time to clarify and demonstrate areas of concern was offered and discussion was extremely relevant and interesting. Scenarios were realistic, challenging and thought provoking… I loved it – Richard

Thank you again for the great course and for taking the time with me afterwards to chat, it was very much appreciated. – Elle

Thank you so much for the course, although it was difficult to get off the ground due to C19, everyone enjoyed it and I am really pleased with how it went, under the difficult circumstances. – Tom ( site manger )

MTA – Tyrolean CPD workshop

I just wanted to say thanks for a cracking day, it was super to meet you and I learnt a lot – really hit the spot. It also really did help me for my water course the following week. – Richard Clarke

Private Rock Guiding

It was certainly a hard day, but it was exactly what I was hoping for, so you delivered what I asked for. The goal was to find out what my limit was seconding and you certainly made this happen. – Chris

Adventure Caving

Kat really enjoyed the day, much more than I imagined she would have done – so total success there! It was a really cool experience, and I can see how easy it would be to catch the caving bug!

Rock climbing instructional day

Our mountaineering club from West Bromwich had booked a days instruction with Baggy, and as there was a spare place I thought why not. I had been climbing for 30 years and thought it would benefit the newbies more than me, how wrong was I !

He tailored the day for each individual, continually giving encouragement and guidance so that we all felt we were in the hands of an expert. Personally, he gave me some top tips whilst very diplomatically, pointing out my bad habits! A skill indeed.

We all gained so much from the day and our newfound confidence led to safer climbing. – Ken Priest
