Climbing competence exam.

[Chris5128]

I've got an exam coming up in a couple weeks for an opportunity to work abroad. I'm more nervous about it then I probably should be because I'm from a small island and I'm thinking big fish in a little pond type affair. Has anyone ever done a test like this before if so what was involved in it for you?

[Darrin Turnbull]

Show them that'll you're a safe/competent climber and it should be ok. Good luck

[Steve Bullman]

As a freelance climber, every first day with a new company is like a competency exam. Just relax, forget they are there and do your thing. Worrying about it will only work against you. Don't go trying to change anything to please them, just be yourself.

Did one for work in NZ, you'll be fine just turn up and climb... If your genuine and attitude is right aswell it'll be in the bag

[Chris5128]

Yeah I'm sure it'll be fine I know I can climb. I'm just used to working for the same people everyday so your sort of get into a rhythm. What did you have to do for your nz one? I'm not really sure what to expect.
