The BMC FUNdamentals 2 workshop covers the WHAT TO TEACH in climbing movement skills, plus some additional relevant information.

The day is broken down to look in more detail at:
> the need to cancel opposite forces to stay stable on the wall
> how to utilise a flagging foot
> finding stable positions on the wall
> how to break down climbing techniques and teach them
> looking at different features we encounter when climbing

Prowess Coaching is an official provider of these workshops and is highly qualifed and vastly experienced in the field of climbing coaching. FUNdamentals 2 is a one-day event and is a mix of classroom based and practical learning (as practical as possible) so bring your rock shoes and get ready to get on the wall! However don't expect us to be trying super hard. The focus is on teaching the basics to beginners and there is no minimum grade requirement. In the event of injury - or even if you choose not to climb - there is no requirement to climb at all, although we generally find most people are psyched to get on the wall.
These workshops are stacked with useful information to help you with your clients (or even your own climbing) but are all delivered in a super relaxed, super chilled out environment and are generally very well received.
More information is available on the BMC website
A resource pack including slides, course notes, downloads and links is included as part of the workshop. You'll receive a link and a password to browse at your leisure.
Please note that FUNdamentals 1 is a pre-requisite of this course
