Anyone seen any yet? Nothing on their website but wonder if they have been distributed via email first.
Not had anything through at my end…
Booo… want to plan my 2014 weeks away!
What’s CCAT?
Cadet Centre for Adventurous Training - http://www.armycadetadventure.co.uk/ - it’s an ACF sponsored and administered organisation for cadet & staff development. A bit like our NACATCs - or, IMHO, what they should be like. The courses as run more frequently, covering more levels, and are sometimes split over weekends (rather than weeks).
They also run and administer a number of high profile expeditions throughout the year which are all quite well publicised and widely circulated.
ATC staff (and sometimes cadets) are permitted to attended on a backfill/top up basis… it doesn’t stop us accounting for around 20-30% of personnel though!!!
I’ve done a couple of bits with them and thoroughly enjoyed them.
I agree with Batfink - their courses are, in general, excellent. I’ve completed my ML, TCL, BCU Level 1 coach, Winter Mountain Foundation and Winter Climbing Foundation with them and all have been superb - particularly the winter courses.
What impresses me most is the level of delivery staff they pull in. On my BCU L1 course we had no less than 5 different Level 5 coaches - top drawer training, and you learn so much from that level of experience.
Having done my BCU Level 2 training earlier this year with a ‘commercial’ provider (although organised through the ATC) the difference in the quality of training was unbelievable.
Oh, and where else can you get a weeks Winter Climbing, working 1:2 with an MIC ninja, for £50 all in?
Still not seen CCAT’s - but have just seen the NACATC ones. Next years looking like a busy year for me!!!
Send them over - or are they on Sharepoint?
Just received the course program for next year - although not yet available on their website
oc.2158@ please…!
Was looking only this morning…!
Can you send over the NACATC and CCAT 2014 dates over to oc.200 as well please?
Cheers!
