A Foundation Coach helps new and improving climbers with the fundamental movement skills of climbing, usually working with a group, often under a more experienced Development Coach. It's an official Mountain Training qualification designed to make coaches more effective at delivering a single session to a group.
These courses are occasionally hosted at Boulder Brighton. See the Mountain Training website for full details and requirements (you must be 16+, have at least six months' climbing experience across a variety of walls, and be a member of a mountaineering council).
Upcoming courses at Boulder Brighton: Assessment on 23rd June 2026, Training on 24th June 2026.
