https://lnkd.in/eszyGZMa Please help us share the “Walking with Confidence" survey. This aims to find out how we all (from local walking groups to national organisations) can best support walkers, to increase their knowledge and develop their confidence. It is especially suitable for those who may be new to walking or intimidated by taking their first steps in the great outdoors. It takes most people less than 5 minutes & is totally anonymous. If you are an organisation/leader - please forward the link to any customers, group members, friends and family who go walking for leisure (rather than for travel). If you are newer to walking – please fill it in yourself! Thanks for your help.

The awarding body network for skills training and qualifications in walking, climbing and mountaineering.
About us
Mountain Training is the collection of awarding bodies for skills courses and qualifications in walking, climbing and mountaineering in the UK and Ireland. Our Vision A diverse and active outdoor society, supported by inspirational leaders, instructors and coaches. Our Mission To inspire, enable and develop people in walking, climbing and mountaineering through the provision of nationally and internationally recognised skills training and leadership qualifications. Our Ethos We believe in: - The safe enjoyment of walking, climbing and mountaineering. We disseminate guidance on good practice and provide training and qualifications for participants, instructors, leaders and coaches. - High quality training and assessment delivered by experienced and supportive practitioners. - Developing independent walkers, climbers and mountaineers who practice and encourage, sustainable and sympathetic use of the outdoors by all users. - Supporting equal access to our sport for people from all backgrounds. We also believe that all people have the potential to develop leadership and coaching skills if trained appropriately. - Good leadership is about more than decision making and technical skill; it is about supporting and developing individuals. - Inspiring people to enjoy walking, climbing and mountaineering with confidence and skill. All of our nationally-recognised schemes are designed to educate and train people so that they can safely enjoy the climbing walls, crags, coast, hills and mountains of our beautiful country. Our qualifications train and assess people to look after other people in these environments and people who hold our qualifications have been assessed at a nationally agreed standard. Courses are run by approved providers who are scattered all around the UK and Ireland. When you book onto a course, they’re the ones who will train and assess you, teach you how to climb, navigate, lead etc.

We're really excited the OutdoorHer hub is live! Check it out and let us know what you think.
The brand new resource hub for empowering women and girls in the great outdoors has launched! 🏔 #OutdoorHer is a collaborative effort between the BMC and Mountain Training providing ‘how to’ guides on periods, menopause, toileting in the outdoors and essential kit all in one place. Let’s break the stigma of menopause, periods, kit sizes in the outdoors and make outdoor adventures comfortable for everyone. 🔗 Explore the #OutdoorHer hub: https://lnkd.in/enSqyYiv

We've been working with Soraya Abdel-Hadi from All The Elements and Phil Young from The Outsiders Project to develop a demystifying guide to the outdoors. The guide features interviews with qualified leaders and a jargon-free introduction to our qualifications. It is aimed at people from underserved communities and is designed to help people figure out why and how a qualification might benefit them. Please feel free to download it and share with anyone you think might find it helpful: https://lnkd.in/gSwzA7zc #LearnLeadInspire
