Tech Advice & Training

Young’s Adventure Solutions have over 20 years of experience of climbing instructor training all across Europe. They are one of the few climbing instructor training centres that holds the Mountain Instructor Award and the European Ropes Course Association Train the Trainer Award (for Traditional and Adventure Parks), so you can rest assured that your staff will be trained to the highest standards.

Whether it is training staff on a climbing wall, high-ropes course or zip-wire, we can help create a bespoke training and assessment programme for your centre and staff within the remit of the Work at Height Regulations. We can also ensure that your own training policies, risks assessments and procedures to support the training are compliant with the standards required.
With Eddy’s experience, he can give technical advice on structures such as Bouldering and Climbing Walls, High Rope Courses, local cliffs and mountain activities.

We also have close links with Vertex Instructor Training who can run ERCA Instructor Awards with Young’s Adventure Solutions director Eddy Young as your Trainer.

Please contact us if you are considering taking an ERCA qualification.
