SPA Preparation

As our team at Scotch on the Rocks Guiding have also been through national governing body awards, we know how important it is to be well prepared for an assessment.  Having worked on both training and assessment courses, we are familiar with all aspects of the syllabus and know what level of competence is required at assessment.

We provide the opportunity for candidates to build their confidence on, or refresh specific areas of both the Summer Mountain Leader and the Single Pitch Award syllabuses.

Topics covered can include;

• Navigation
• Security on steep ground
• Group management
• Environmental knowledge
• Personal rope skills
• Problem solving at a single pitch crag
• Mock assessments
