The Basic Winter Skills Course is a personal recreational training course that provides training for those who wish to learn to hike on trails or on very easy off-trail areas, safely and is a practical MTS certified course including snow skills, crampons, roping up, self arrest, and abseiling.

This course is supplimentary to the ICE CLIMBING SKILLS COURSE.

Other Supervisor Awards

Courses (and associated assessment) aimed at the abseiling, hiking and rock climbing supervisor responsible for group activities.

Courses are designed to flow in a complimentary system toward each level. Some systems (R.I.A / K.I.A) require additional modules as their scope of operation overlaps with those programs. For example a Rock or Kloofing Instructor requires Walking Group Leader as a supplement. Likewise an M.I.A can have Kloofing exclusion.
