The scheme can be entered at this level, TRG is a foundation level qualification that covers the skills required to look after participants in top rope climbing and abseil environments, participants on the TRG courses should be active climbers (though there is no requirement to lead climb) and should be familiar with climbing in outdoor environments.
Entry requirements:

• Must present a logbook detailing (at least) the minimum requirements of climbing and instructing experience (consolidation requirements) since the training course.
The Climbing Company has provided safe and high quality climbing experiences for students at Catherine McAuley College Bendigo for years. It is the experience of doing a multipitch climb that is often the highlight of the students’ 2 years of OED. Highly recommended.
Aaron and his team are incredibly experienced, supportive and professional.
Aaron was super easy to work with and also helped us out with an extra educational focus for our school group. All the students came away excited, challenged and inspired from the day!

I would like to thank you for organising Louise to be our guide on our recent visit.
While I seldom engage in leaving reviews, the whole experience warrants an exception.
Her expertise and professionalism was outstanding, ensuring not only our safety at each micro second, but also imparting valuable knowledge and techniques.
It comes as no surprise that those who have had the privilege to climb with Louise praise her as legendary.
Lousie, respect to you. Thank you for your patience, encouragement and time. Your leadership helped us overcome challenges that seemed impossible.
We have certainly gained a newfound appreciation for Trad and enduring admiration for yourself who made the few days we were fortunate enough to spend at Arapilies, exhilarating.
What a magical place. What a magical trip. Thank you.

We can’t recommend The Climbing Co highly enough. Aaron hooked us up with Simon Mentz as a guide for 2 days. Simon put 110% into two full on days with two 17 year olds boys! An amazing experience and fantastic introduction to Climbing. Thanks guys, very much appreciated.
Hamid organized two days of fantastic climbing at Mt Arapiles with several exciting multi-pitch routes. He was very professional and friendly and ensured I had a great and safe experience.
