Coasteering Validation
The Coasteering Validation is designed to provide training for instructors to enable them to lead or assist coasteering as a learning and/or play activity. We have put together a dynamic programme, which is covered over two days. A further period of development and completing action plans is then decided with the instructor on completion of this training. When this action plan is completed and the candidate feels ready, they can be assessed, at the venue of their choice and with their group.
This validation is run on a non-interventionist basis. Feedback is given at the end along with a written report and the relevant certificate issued.
