Cs38 and 39 advise

[Midge]

I'm a freelance instructor and all of the training centres I work for apart from one don't supply climbing equipment to the candidates.

 

Is the one you mention TKF training, as they have supplied the equipment needed for every course I have attended.

No, it's one in South Wales.

Unless your running climbing type courses regular it can get expensive buying, loler'ing and replacing x4 full kits, so I see why most training providers/centres don't supply kit.

I don't, I can't think of too many training centers that expect the trainee to supply the equipment, climbing centers supply climbing gear, dive centers supply gear, ski schools, parachute/sky diving etc the list goes on. I imagine that HVG training centers don't expect trainee's to arrive in their own 40 footer and they aren't cheap to maintain.

 

No, IMO if a training company can't be bothered to supply or even hire equipment to trainees they should be avoided.

I see what your saying Mac about training in other walks of life, good point mate.
