Spring-Summer 2023 Training Workshops
We're pleased to announce our calendar of training workshops for spring and summer 2023.
As well as the old favourites including SRT, rigging and rescue training for beginner and intermediate levels, we have workships covering pull-throughs and various skills for those leading trips. Plus of course we have another session of our ever-popular geology tour which sells out every time.

- 18th March: One-day SRT refresher, intermediate level (underground)
- 8th April: One-day SRT refresher, intermediate level (underground)

Note: All two-day workshops include one day indoors and one day underground.
The beginner workshops also work well for those who are quite rusty or would like a refresher to help regain confidence following a period of absence from caving. There will often be the opportunity to customise the learning to those of differing existing abilities.

Sadly, due to increased venue and trainer costs, we have had to increase the price of most workshops from £25/day to £30/day, which is still great value for a full day of professional tuition. This fee covers the bulk of the running costs, with CNCC subsidising the occasional shortfall and any losses for sessions that do not run at full capacity.
We are exploring the use of alternative venues for future workshops to allow us to keep costs down.
If you would like an additional workshop session specifically for your club or group, please get in touch. Also, we welcome anyone interested in coming along to our indoor workshops to ‘shadow’ our trainers, to help you support your own club or group. Please contact training@cncc.org.uk if either of these options could be of interest to you, or if you have any further questions or suggestions for future workshop themes.
