NICAS 11+
NICAS is a UK-wide scheme designed to promote climbing development and accredit individual achievement on artificial climbing structures. It’s a starting point for people wishing to take up climbing and mountaineering, starting from age 7.
The scheme runs from Level 1 through to Level 5: Level 1 is the entry level for those new to the sport and wanting to learn what bouldering is as a physical activity and how to use a bouldering wall safely. Level 5 are for those at performance level and will have advanced skills and knowledge of training and bouldering as well as experience of competitions at a local and national level.
All participants start at Level 1, even if they have previous experience. Previous experience will allow you to progress more quickly through the scheme. Those new to the scheme should commence with the Foundation class.
The sessions are booked on a half-termly basis and run during term time.
Please note that there will be a one-off payment of £9.00 for the NICAS Logbook on the very first session. This logbook and folder then stays with the participant as they move through the scheme. Please make sure we are aware of any SEN requirements or other disabilities your child may have so our instructors can accommodate accordingly. Please give us a call to disucss before booking and paying for the NICAS Term.
As NICAS is booked as a subscription, the cancellation window is relative to the "next billing date" which will fall on the 1st of the next month.
We require 14 days or mores notice to cancel the upcoming subscription to give you a full refund. If you cancel within 14 days of the next billing date, you are not entitled to a refund.
You can cancel the booking through your online account.
In either case, your booking will terminate at the end of the current month - if your session happens to fall on the last day of the month, you are still eligible to attend that session, but none after the 1st of the next month.
For session changes - age bracket, or level, please get in touch with us to check for feasibility; we'll action if there is availability. There is no extra charge for this, but that booking has to remain on the same session for the minimum of 1 month.
Please note, the space on the previous session will then be open to be booked by others, which means it may become unavailable for you to switch back onto, if that is your intention.
