CNCC Training Workshops: Autumn/Winter 2025-2025

[CNCC]

Training workshops for autumn-winter 2025-2026​

We’re pleased to announce our autumn and winter workshops, covering areas from beginner SRT, refreshers for those wanting a confidence-boost, pull-through techniques, rigging and rescue training. Some (where indicated) are two-day events providing one day indoors and one day underground. We’ve also got our popular geology tours with John Helm and our 2:1 intensive workshops for more personalised training.

These were advertised to our mailing list (of over 800 individuals) last week. Therefore, many spaces (including several entire workshops) have already been booked-out, but there is still plenty of availability. We expect spaces on several of the dates to go very quickly.

Finally, we've got two ‘Venture Underground’ events (22nd Nov/7th Mar). These provide an opportunity for anyone considering caving as a hobby to try it out for the first time as part of a welcoming and educational event. These are being run by our trainers... but if your group or club would like to partner with us to run an event then please get in touch with our Training Officer. These are a great chance to raise some club funds, and potentially some very enthusiastic new members.
