Indoor Climbing Instructor Training
A qualified Indoor Climbing Instructor (ICI) can instruct, teach and supervise people developing independent skills on indoor/artificial walls, including teaching lead climbing and associated skills.
Scope
Building on the Indoor Climbing Guide qualification, this qualification is aimed specifically at teaching beginners how to lead-climb on indoor environments, including belaying.
Our group spent the weekend with Aaron learning Anchoring, abseiling, and top roping skills. His teaching methods were very clear and understandable. He was calm, professional, and reassuring, which is what I personally needed due to my fears of risk and heights. By the end of the course I was able to confidently place an anchoring system that I was confident in and took away the skills that would allow me to do it outside of the class environment.
Had Aaron teach me and three others over two days. Very informative and answers any questions you have with climbing with confidence. Over all great person and teacher
Did the two-day Indoor Learn to Lead course with The Climbing Company and had a great experience. Aaron was an excellent instructor — really clear, patient, and focused on safety throughout.
The progression of the course was really well structured. We started with the more basic belay devices and techniques to make sure we properly understood the fundamentals, then worked our way up to assisted-braking devices like the GriGri. We covered a lot over the two days without ever feeling rushed.
I came away feeling much more confident with lead climbing and belaying. Highly recommend the course and Aaron as an instructor!

Aaron is very experienced and a great instructor. Would recommend 👍
Had so much fun! Hamid is super knowledgeable and is excellent at explaining technical skills for alpine climbing. Can’t wait to do another course soon.
10/10 course, Hamid was the best instructor, if you’re looking to get into mountaineering this course is for you!
Had a fantastic experience completing my lead climbing training. The instructors were both excellent, attentive, knowledgeable and always focused on safety. The small group format meant plently of opportunities to practice belaying, clipping and climbing with personalised coaching and feedback. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build confidence and skills in lead climbing!
The entire Lead course was fantastic, and I learned so much from it.
Aron and Jack were both very responsible and professional. They explained each technique in detail, including how to use the equipment properly and the common mistakes to avoid. They also pointed out many of the mistakes we made during the practical sessions and helped us understand how to improve.
The whole course felt very safe and well organized, while also being a lot of fun.
Highly recommended!
