The 30 hour Ropes Course and Climbing
Program Management training course is designed to help senior adventure program
instructors and program directors manage their ropes course and climbing
programs (tower, wall, or cliff) more effectively. This 30 hour training will
enhance your ability to deliver safe and effective adventure programs by increasing
your understanding of standards, current research and testing, emergency
preparedness and program assessment. The workshop’s experiential approach
enables leadership teams to refine their ropes course and climbing program
management systems and hone their critical incident response plan.
Course Objectives
By the end of this training, ropes course and climbing program management attendees will:
Appreciate how current standards and practices may inform the operation of ropes courses and climbing programs
Have the ability to improve their adventure program’s effectiveness by applying research findings, assessment, and evaluation tools
Apply the key concepts of the injury counter-measures model to their own safety management plan
Create more effective management systems for their adventure program using the tools provided in their site’s operations manual
Understand the implications of recent research and testing on equipment selection, facility operations, and staff training
We offer two tracks for this training - Certification and Audit. Choose the track that is right for you:
Audit
The skills and concepts taught in the Ropes Course and Climbing Program Management training course are of benefit to any director or program director having supervisory responsibility for the adventure programming aspect at their facility. As such, we provide an “audit” opportunity for those who do not meet the certification pre-requisites. Participants who are “auditing” may participate fully in all aspects of the training, but will not be eligible to participate in the Testing Day. As such their participation will be complete at the end of Day 3.
Certification
Those individuals who meet the prerequisites for
certification, complete all the course hours, and successfully complete the
practical skills assessment and written test will receive certification as a
Challenge Course Manager, in accordance with ACCT Standards.
