C&G 7303 DTLLS COURSE
ASSIGNMENT ONE
At present my specialism is Teaching Climbing activities. My role is to deliver different courses in climbing which are funded by the individual learner or the awarding body as part of their course (example BTEC). Some of the courses I cover are: Beginner courses which teach the adult learner to climb indoors independently over a period of 3 weeks. Rock club is perfect for those that have just completed a beginner’s course or returning to climbing. Technique courses are about improving your techniques so that you can progress your grade which naturally comes after the beginners course. GCSE and A ‘Level groups who are completing their BTEC Award in Public Services(equivalent to 3.5 A ‘levels) the programme is a combination of climbing skills and Techniques which involves them climbing efficiently on the wall with ease, securing their harness and demonstrating that they can safely secure their own harness independently. Appropriate use of rope and knots: Tying in with a re-threaded double figure of eight knot and a double stopper knot. Belaying and lowering off a climber. Recognising pieces of equipment and demonstrating its use effectively. Demonstrate how to tie a clove hitch and use this within a ground anchor system. Alter the height of the ground anchor and aware of different situations a clove hitch can be used for an example for a belay point outside. What does the clove hitch knot do it is a self locking knot which can be easily altered. On all these courses students are individually assessed on the skills they have achieved according to the level they have reached. This will help to confirm that the student has retained all knowledge throughout their course. They are provided with a log book to monitor and record their achievements and assessments throughout the course. At the end of each course a certificate of accomplishment is given.
