Award Description

The Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required for instructing mountaineering, including all aspects of summer rock climbing, including the coaching of lead climbing, and scrambling. It builds on the skills acquired in the Mountain Leader qualification, which candidates must hold. The Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor is an extensively used professional qualification.

This qualification was previously called the Mountaineering Instructor Award (MIA).
