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. 

Irelands most entertaining Mountain Skills course! Looking to build your confidence in the hills, learn essential mountain navigation, and (most importantly) have a blast while doing it? This Mountain Skills 1 course is the perfect mix of adventure, learning, and breathtaking scenery — and it's happening in the absolutely stunning Connemara, one of Ireland’s most beautiful and dramatic mountain regions.

Over two days, we’ll go on two fantastic hikes, explore the epic Connemara landscape, and having a good laugh while we're at it. Along the way, you’ll learn the core skills every hillwalker needs to fully enjoy the mountains, and meet a group of cool, likeminded people ready to explore with you.

It’s a practical, supportive course designed to give you the tools and confidence to step out on your own adventures with freedom and independence.
