Private Courses

For centres, schools, groups, clubs and other organisations, sending individuals on public courses may not be the most effective way to get staff through the BMC Workshops. Instead, you could arrange a Private Course.

Private courses are priced on a day rate, regardless of how many people you choose to send. They can accomodate between 2 and 12 people and run at a venue and time to suit you. Some courses are syllabus driven, others are created bespoke but every course is tailored to you, your group and your needs.

Prices

Expenses include such costs as any relevant course registration fees, wall entry (where relevant), travel (calculated at 45p per mile), accommodation and classroom booking fee. However, Prowess will try and bring expenses costs as low as possible and expenses should be calculated prior to the course commencing.

Location

Private Courses can be run anywhere! We can run a private course in North Wales (thus reducing expenses) by utilising the classroom at the Beacon.

I have run private courses at a wide variety of venues across the country, including the Lake District, Manchester, Birmingham, Gloucester, Oxford, Merthyr Tydfil and even Guernsey!

Please contact me to discuss a venue for your course. International courses are also available

Course Details

First things first, let’s cover the course details. The available workshops/courses are:

BMC	FUNdamentals 1 Workshop
	FUNdamentals 2 Workshop
	FUNdamentals 3 Workshop
	Physical Training 1 Workshop
	Coaching Children Workshop
Mountain Training	Bouldering Wall Instructor – Training
	Bouldering Wall Instructor – Assessment
Prowess Courses	Teaching Outdoor Bouldering Workshop
	Coaching Workshops (see here, 3 workshops per day)

Workshops are 1 day each, typically starting at 10:00am and finishing at roughly 5:00pm. These times are flexible and can be moved earlier or later to suit you, as long as they last a minimum of 7 hours.

Split Courses

Some organisations aren’t able to find a suitable day to make all staff available for training. In this case, it is possible to cut the day into two half-sessions of 3 ½ hours each. However all participants MUST attend both sessions in order to attain an attendance tick and this is only available in North Wales.

Further Details

Most organisations will arrange multiple workshops on consecutive days. Courses can be held at any indoor climbing wall of your choice, with prior arrangement.

The workshops are a mix of classroom and practical, although there is no obligation to climb if you choose not to. Please note that this means we will need access to a classroom space. All participants will need to bring the following:

• Climbing Shoes
• Chalk Bag
• Harness
• Belay Device
• Note Taking Equipment

Please also feel free to bring any supplementary equipment, including literature, warm up aids, teaching aids, etc. although these are not required. Note that we will break for lunch so participants may wish to bring food with them.

All participants will need to be a registered member of the climbing wall, so please make sure everyone attending is registered beforehand or arrives in time to do so before the start of the course. Please note that wall entry is not included and where relevant, this will need to be covered by the client. Many walls offer a cheaper group rate so again, where relevant, please get in touch to discuss this further.

After the Course

On completion of each day, you will receive any relevant resources related to the course in question. Typically, this will include a link to a page on the website where you will find some of the following:

• Course Slides
• Course Notes
• Resources seen on the day
• Links to articles online pertinent to the day
• Drills pages from the Prowess site relevant to the day

Please note that not all of the above is available for every course but anything that is will be sent to you on completion. Where there is only one point of contact, any after-course resources will be sent direct to them. For any enquiries on after-course resources, please email [email protected]
