The Mountain Training Ethos
Mountain Training qualifications train and assess people to look after other people in the hills and mountains of the UK, whether that's leading a walk in the mountains, coaching in a climbing wall or teaching multi pitch rock climbing. People who hold our qualifications have been assessed at a nationally agreed standard and may be volunteers, youth workers, outdoor instructors or teachers.
Mountain training believes in inspiring people from all backgrounds to enjoy walking, climbing and mountaineering with confidence and skill.
