I know there are difference between how military and civilians are taught sports, such as SCUBA, the military is much more intensive and they play by different rules, decompression, air mixtures and their overall performance underwater differs.

I was wondering, do military courses for rock climbing differ from the civilian courses? Or are they exactly the same holds, equipment and moves civilians use?

(I ask because I am looking at the military and wonder if learning the techniques as a civilian will differ if I get into such a course in the military.)

Scuba training in the British Forces was no different to civilian training if it is sport diving you were interested in. I trained while in the forces myself. They'd only let you train with BSAC, as it's world safety renowned.

From a career focus that would be the Navy and be more specialized for sure.

Edit to add: And rock climbing training with our forces is no different, it's focus comes from the BMC. One of our forces groups is RAFMA:
