NICAS Level 3 (Age 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 Level 1 class; please do not book onto the Advance Level 3 class unless you have passed Level 2.

The sessions are booked on a half-termly basis and run during term time.

If the session is full and you'd like to join our waitlist to be notified when next term's sessions go live or if additional sessions are added, please follow the link below, select VauxWall West or VauxWall East and leave your name and email address.
