Climbing Wall Development Instructor
The Climbing Wall Development Instructor (CWDI) qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required to teach lead climbing skills on indoor or outdoor artificial climbing walls and structures with fixed protection. It builds on the skills gained through either the Climbing Wall Instructor or Rock Climbing Instructor qualifications, one of which must be held in order to access the scheme.
Bryn Williams is one of the leading providers of the CWDI scheme in the UK having been involved in the delivery of the qualification for over 10 years and was also the former Executive Officer for Mountain Training with responcibilites in creating the syllabus, training providers and quality assuring the scheme.
