RCI REFRESHER COURSE

Alternatively, you might have been deferred on an aspect of the Rock climbing Instructor assessment. Then doing an RCI refresher course could be just what you need.

Adventurings RCI refresher course is a day(s) with a Mountaineering Instructor and AMI member who will focus on any areas of the Rock climbing syllabus that you feel you need to work on. We will not spend time on areas that you might already be stronger at. By the end of the day(s) you will have had a practical, hands-on day with plenty of help and advice in as many different situations as possible that will leave you feeling much stronger in those areas than when you arrived.
