NICAS, the National Indoor Climbing Award Schemes, is a UK-based organisation focused on developing climbers through quality coaching. Operated by ABC Training Trust, NICAS provides progressive, inclusive pathways in climbing and bouldering, helping coaches and centres support climbers as they build skills and confidence. Its stated aim is to create a foundation for a lifetime of positive climbing experiences for everyone.

The organisation offers a range of schemes, including Climbing, Bouldering, Wild Climbers, Ascend and Clip. It also provides information and resources for parents and carers, schools, coaches and climbing centres. Centres can learn about becoming accredited, minimum requirements, inductions, workshops and changes to personnel, while coach development and freelance coaching are also covered through its services and information.

NICAS helps people locate participating venues through its Find a Centre map. It reports having more than 280 accredited centres across the UK and beyond, with additional walls joining regularly. Through its programmes and centre network, NICAS connects climbers with structured learning opportunities and supports the organisations delivering them.
