Training for spring-summer 2025

New workshops for spring/summer 2025

We’re delighted to launch our spring/summer 2025 workshop calendar.

As well as the usual new-to-SRT and SRT refreshers for those who are rusty or keen to advance from the basics, we’re pleased to include some geology-focused workshops, a few more of our very sought-after 2:1 intensive workshops for rigging and rescue, and a new pull-through workshop using the recently re-anchored Swinsto Hole.

There's also another date for our popular new-to-caving session (23rd August) to provide an opportunity for anyone considering caving as a hobby to try it out as part of a friendly and educational day.

In browsing the online training catalogue you might also see several events for the Speleo Sisters - a caving group for women and gender diverse cavers. If wanting to attend any of their sessions please contact the group directly (they are active on Facebook). This is a good reminder that anyone is welcome to request a CNCC workshop specifically for your group/club. Please contact our Training Officer to discuss.
