We always encourage attendees on our Mountain Training qualification courses to join the Mountain Training Association. It is a very worthwhile membership organisation for all climbing, walking and mountain leaders and instructors in the UK and Ireland.
It’s designed for all candidates of any of our qualifications – walking leaders, climbing instructors, coaches and/or camping leaders including Climbing Wall Instructor, Rock Climbing Instructor, Lowland Leader, Hill and Moorland Leader, Mountain Leader and the new Camping Leader Qualification.
And now Mountain Training have just announced a new Mountain Training Association logo.
