mikl,
sounds like you have never been to a gym before?
Dodgy has summed it up good.
i remeber at the mill ther ewas no formal course in the begining, if you had the gear and you used it properly during an 'observation period' then that was it..you were 'lead-qualified'. No requirement for the belayer to tie in to one of the floor anchors, unless they wanted to.
i dont know if there was any requiterment to regarding gear, although i remember one guy being told that he couldnt use his tatty 1950's sit harness. how on earth could you look competent in that!
They also had a policy regading belaying with friction devices such as fig and 'stitch'-type plates. in that you always had to lock off the rope, rather than hold the ropes together (american style?). this used to piss-off of few OS climbers.
