Page 9 - 2020 AMA Summer

What was interesting is that everyone from crusty seasoned JS RCI to hardcore beanie wearing boulderer with limited JS quals got a lot out of the course and everyone went away with a far better idea of how to bring on new climbers and also how to analyse their own technique and that of others. In many ways it compliments the JSMTC courses that tend to prioritise ropework over climbing movement and coaching. It also made the group think about further awards facilitated via the AMA such as Climbing Wall (Development) Instructor, MT Rock Climbing Instructor, Foundation Coach and Fundamentals 3.
Whilst this was an AMA facilitated event, the BMC (and Mountain Training) runs many of these courses throughout the year and SLCs are eligible. SLC application forms are on the members area on the AMA website, but remember an Education Centre member of staff needs to sign the form off before you start the course. Alternatively, you the reader could volunteer to organise a bespoke AMA course! Please contact a member of the AMA committee to discuss this idea if you are interested.
