Award Description

This scheme is delivered on the island of Ireland ONLY. The Mountain Skills (MS) training course provides a general introduction to hillwalking in Ireland and the fundamentals of mountain navigation. Offering a solid foundation for gaining personal mountaineering proficiency, Mountain Skills training teaches the necessary skills in mountain safety, day and night navigation techniques, knowledge of hazards, and personal equipment, so that a person finishing the course may be in a position to safely, and competently, take to the hills. Mountain Skills training and assessment also provide foundation training for those who wish to progress to further leadership qualifications, such as the Mountain Leader (ML). Mountain Skills courses are available throughout Ireland. 

Mountain Skills 2 is for those who love a true type 2 adventure—the kind where the weather might turn, the visibility drops, and you need to trust your skills to find your way. This course is all about building confidence in more challenging conditions. Over two full days, you’ll refine your navigation and learn how to make smart decisions when the mountains feel a little more serious. It’s a perfect next step after MS1, or for anyone who wants to push their skills further and feel fully capable in wild, remote terrain. If you thrive on a bit of challenge and love the idea of becoming truly self-reliant in the hills, MS2 is for you.
