Kath James is a Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor based in North Wales. She works full time as an instructor and has done for the last 20 years. Kath has worked in outdoor education with young people providing experiences across multiple disciplines, in leader training and assessment in mountaineering and climbing, and instructing and guiding rock climbing, winter climbing, mountaineering and hill walking in the UK. She enjoys the aspects of her work that have allowed her to support and mentor instructors in their professional development.
Kath’s experience of training and assessing on the Mountain Training qualifications has given her insight into how different people respond to the pressure of assessment. She always aims to make the experience a positive one for candidates whatever the outcome. Her interest in supporting people on these pathways has led to educating herself more about ways in which people respond to assessment situations. Kath aims to share this knowledge to help people know when they are ready for assessment.
