FREE Training Opportunities

As part of a number of our assessment courses students are required to teach real people. That’s where you come in as a mock student.  The training and use of equipment is FREE all you have to do is cover any travel, food and accommodation costs.  Most of the courses are based from Glenmore Lodge, although our Sea and Surf courses are based away.

Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor Award

For this course you will receive two days of training, one in climbing and one long day out on the mountain walking/scrambling. You must be available for both these days and have a reasonable level of mountain fitness. You will be taught climbing at a level appropriate to your skills however if you are currently leading very severe or are an SPA holder then you are too experienced.

We run a large number of courses for which we require different levels of experience in different disciplines. Here on the website you will find a list of dates to give you an idea of when these courses take place however the application form does not have dates; instead we will look at your experience and only contact you if your experience matches a course that we would require you for.
