You may however learn the wrong nuts & bolts! This could be very dangerous & may even lead to an accident? You hone with time but if you learn correctly from the start at least you can tell tell the good advice from the bad! Some of our trainees after doing the Proclimber Fast Track course are more competent than some who have been out there doing the job for years, even without the experience!
Learn the correct way then go out & get your experience, you will be safer, more confident & know you are doing the job right.

Thats a hell of a lot of money, you won't be much better off in terms of employment apart from having a some extra tickets. I have found that some people who have done 38,39,40 are still unable to climb. The tests are easy and you would be better off getting some experience with a firm and having a go before you spend a fortune on training. You will learn more and be much more employable after working for a good firm for 6 months than any 6 week course will give you.
Some people just aren't cut out for climbing, until you have a go and really try and test yourself you won't know wether you are a natural, or someone who will have to work at it, or someone who will never be able to do it.
Please ask our past trainees about not being any better off! Most find work immediately after the course ends, as an Employer myself, I would much rather employ someone who has been taught correctly but has little experience, than someone who's had years of experience of perhaps getting it wrong. (Believe me there's plenty out there, with & without tickets)!!!!! Check out our feedback on the Proclimber website Fast Track feedback page, & also the proclimber training Facebook page. We have trainees from as far away as New Zealand coming to do this course, that's a long way to come for nothing??? As for working for 6 months before doing for the course, you can pick up a lot of bad habits in that time, then we have to spend time breaking these before teaching the correct way. There is very little you can do without tickets these days, Insurance companies will not cover you. Try telling someone who has left the Forces to wait six months before getting a job, or someone made redundant who wants to get back into another Industry as quickly as possible, who is going to employ them without any qualifications. Experience is earned not bought, this is a perfect way in, just ask anyone who has done the course how it has changed their working lives. As for the tests being easy, try doing this course, it's the most demanding six weeks you have probably ever had! Even our fittest trainees say it is hard, we make this perfectly clear before we take a booking, if you are overweight, smoke or not as fit as you could be, think hard before enrolling, this course is not for pussies!!
