AMGA SPI Exam: May 26-27th (Tue-Wed), 2026

$500.00

The SPI Exam is a minimum of 16 hours run over a two-day period. This course will take place in South Central/South Eastern PA at crags within 1 hour of Harrisburg, PA.

There is no minimum time frame between successful completion of the SPI Course and when you can participate in the SPI Exam, as long as the candidate meets the prerequisites for the SPI Exam. Most successful candidates practice their skills for 3-6 months prior to taking the SPI Exam.

First aid training is not a pre-requisite for participation in a course or assessment. For SPI certification to be valid, however, instructors must hold appropriate medical certification for the location in which they will be working. SPI certification is not valid for instructors whose medical certification has lapsed. It is the responsibility of individual instructors to maintain appropriate medical certification.

This exam will be facilitated by Ryan Shipp (AMGA Climbing Wall Instructor Provider, Single Pitch Instructor Provider, Multi-Pitch Instructor, and Assistant Rock Guide). Shipp@levitationclimbing.com or 717.514.7856

Exam tuition is $475. We also accept Venmo (2%) and checks/cash (no fees). If you would like to use another method for registering, please reach out to us directly. Thank You.
