History and background.
Klatre-Centeret started in 1990, and today it is Denmarks and
Swedens largest and oldest professional school and trainingscenter
for climbing, mountaineering and rope access.
Klatre-Centeret offers training and courses at all levels within climbing, mountainering
and rope access..
The training and courses usually has a duration of 1 - 7 days.
Apart from these courses, Klatre-Centeret also offers longer lasting
professional training, courses and educations in climbing and
natural outdoor life, ie:
- KAL® (Climbing-Activity-Leader® ) -training and -authorizations in both tree- and rockclimbing and
- PRAT® (Professional Rope Access Technician) -training and authorizations
in Rope Access and
- SPRAT® Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians training and
authorizations and
- 10 week study in climbing and outdoorlife
We also offer long-term professional studies in natural outdoorlife with a duration
of four weeks up to one year.
Klatre-Centeret has four course- and trainingcentres.
This ensures, that you'll have optimal conditions for your course,
no matter, where it is held.
Our coursecentres are placed on the rocky island, Bornholm in
Denmark and in Sweden, close to Goetemburg, on Kullaberg, close
to Helsingborg and right outside of Helsingborg (industrial climbing).
In 1993 Klatre-Centeret got its first course- and trainingcentre
in Vang on Bornholm, on top of Denmarks largest natural climbing
area.
In 1997, it was replaced with Kraklund, which is situated in Vang as well.
Kraklund was modernized with a big meetingroom, both for going
through knowledge, for watching films and for socializing etc.
Also indoor sleeping facilities for up to 12 persons was made
and of course campinggrounds for outdoor sleepers are available
as well.
In 1998 Klatre-Centeret expanded further during our cooperation
with Akademin för Natur- & Friluftsliv in Sweden (Kärralund).
This enabled us to offer even more varied and more numerous courses
and educations and with its proximity to the fabulous climbing
in both Goetemburg and Bohuslän, Kärralund gave a new dimension to the range of courses, that we offer.
I 2006 we expanded again with Kullanäs, which as the name indicates, lies on Kullaberg and thus close
to the amazing climbing on the coastal cliffs there.
With Kullanäs, we can offer logistics and facilities for our courses,
both on Kullaberg and .in Hasslarp.
i 2008 we expanded further with Hasslarp, our 500 m2 large, specially made scandinavian trainingcenter for industrial
climbing / rope access in the old sugarfactory there.
In Hasslarp, just outside of Helsingborg, Klatre-Centeret offers
ideal conditions for training, courses and authorizations within
industrial climbing in a complex, specially made, industrial environment
with more than 20 meter to the roof.
This is also where we run ScanRope.
See more about Scan-Rope here.
In Hasslarp Klatre-Centeret offers training, courses and authorizations
within both PRAT® (Professional Rope Access Technician) and SPRAT®, where Klatre-Centeret is a fully acknowledged training center.
See the list of SPRAT®-trainingcentres.
Klatre-Centeret is a private corporation, without public funding.
 The leader of Klatre-Centeret, Christian Almer, has climbed actively
since 1977.
Over the years he has climbed all over the alps, ie. in Italy,
Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium and Luxemburg
as well as in Wales, Lake District, Peak and Scotland.
Besides he has been climbing for all these years on numerous places
in the norwegian mountains, summer as well as winter.
Futhermore he has climbed on a number of locations in Sweden,
particularly at Goetemburg and in Bohuslän and (of course) on
Kullaberg.
Finally he has clinbed on quite a few places in Greenland.
Apart from this he has through several years been both a board
member and instructor as well as course director in Dansk Bjergklub.
Furthermore he has been on the board of directors since 1993 in
Dansk Vejlederkreds.
Since 1999 he has been chairman. He still holds this position.
Siden 1999, Christian Almer has worked professionally with industrial
climbing (rope access), offering both rope access services and
training, including the PRAT®-authorization.

access technician (Level III, supervisor) in SPRAT® (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians). and Klatre-Centeret today offers SPRAT®-training at all levels..
In 2008, Christian Almer was voted chairman of the tradeorganization for Authorized Rope Access, BARA.

etc"..
Booking is not binding, and we can not promise participation,
until depostion or payment (depending on the information on the
invoice) is received on time.
We make a point of stressing, that you can not count upon participation,
if the deadline for payment is not met. The very favorable relation
between the numbers of participants and the number of instructors
on our courses necessitates this.
Delayed payment thus means, that the vacant place / places will
be made available again as soon as the deadline for payment is
passed and no payment has been received
On that background we therefore strongly recommend, that you pay
on time.
FINAL CONFIRMATION AND COURSE INFORMATION
After receiving timely payment time, you wilI receive a mail /
letter with final confirmation of your participation, including practical information etc.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PARTICIPATION, PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION
ETC.
Participation in our training, courses and educations etc. is
done at your own risk and responsibility
By booking and participating you accept this.
Even though we have never had any serious accidents, we offer
a mandatory accident-insurance on our courses, and the cost for this (DKr. 60,- / day) will
be added to the invoice.
Normally all open courses are being held regardless of ie weather
etc.
To ensure a high professional competent and secure standard, we
keep a very low number of participants on all our training, courses
and educations.
This means, that we have to have payment in advance and on time,
since we can not otherwise guarantee your participation on the
course / education.
Even though we try our best to keep the ratio of participants
/ instructors as favourable as possible, we reserve the right
to adjust the numbers of participants, according to the situation.
Ie. we can can of course only guarantee, that a new instructor
is put on the course, when the number of participants allows this.
In case there might be more participants than stated as the standard,
the curriculum and content of the course will of course still
be fully taught and gone through, though the days might thus become
a little longer.
By a lower number of participants, than stated as the standard,
it may also happen, that we compress the course and thus the course
duration might thus be shortened, though the ratio between particpants
and instrucor will thus be more favorable than the standard.
By booking, you pay either a deposit of the full price of the
course, training or education.
Deposit usually constitutes 1/ 3 of the total price.
The rest of the payment or the full amount is paid at least 4
months before the course / the education starts.
Booking is always specific to a given course / training etc. and
can not be changed without both parties aggreeing upon this in
advance.
By cancellatiion from the participant, nothing is refunded, unless
we succed in selling another, similar course on the same date
/ dates.
By cancellation from the participant less than four months before
the course, training or education, the full fee is paid in any
case.
By delayed payment of deposit, course fee or residual amount,
a fee of DKK. 150,- and an interest of 2% for every month started,
will be charged.
Rebate :
If you are 3 persons or more, who would like to participate upon
one of our open courses simultaneously, and you therefore could
have "your own instructor", we can offer 10% rebate (doesn't count
for introductory courses for groups)
To get the rebate, you need to book simultaneously and you will
get only one confirmation.
