NICAS Beginner- Level 1 

These sessions are for those who have not already completed a term with us and are new to roped climbing. 

Level 1- New Climber

An entry-level aimed at novices that recognises their ability to climb safely under supervision.

NICAS Development- Level 2/3 

These sessions are for those who have already completed at least one term with us.  

Level 2- Foundation Climber

Aimed at promoting good practice in climbing and belaying unsupervised on an artificial wall.

Level 3 - Technical Climber

A more advanced top-roping and bouldering award that focuses on developing technique and movement skills. This is aimed at ensuring a candidate possesses the knowledge and skill to climb and belay safely at any climbing facility (whether under supervision or with back-up) and operate in a responsible manner. Achievement at this level is broadly equivalent to a pass at GCSE.
