Additional Staff

Sometimes we draw in additional expertise to deliver our courses, calling from a number of trusted Mountaineering Instructors and Guides with whom we have worked with in the past.  We will have chosen these individuals carefully, confident in the knowledge that their particular area of expertise will be adding to the quality of your training or assessment experience.  You will benefit from the opportunity to compare views and opinions, knowing that all our staff will have the experience and confidence to explain what they are teaching, and why.

 

All our staff will, first and foremost, be highly skilled and experienced in the areas they are working but you will also find they will themselves have already (successfully!) undergone several (if not all) of the training and assessment processes that you will be going through on our courses.
