Introduction to Adventuremark

Adventuremark https://www.adventuremark.co.uk/ is a non-statutory safety scheme devised by the Adventure Activity Industry Advisory Committee (AAIAC) https://www.aaiac.org/ for Providers of adventurous activities that are outside the scope of the Adventure Activity Licensing regulations. Adventuremark allows providers to demonstrate to their customers or users that their Provider's Safety Management and related delivery systems have been independently audited and inspected and found to comply with  standards of good practice in the adventure activity industry.

Mountain Training UKI is an AAIAC Approved Scheme Provider and offers accreditation against the Adventuremark criteria. The MTUKI Approved Activity Provider Scheme is designed to support a sole provider of mountain activities delivered within the scope of the Awards they hold. This does not include other activities outside the scope of these Awards or enterprises with more complex delivery systems that require greater day to day management, which is covered by direct entry into the Adventuremark Scheme  A sole trader who occasionally asks a colleague with the same qualification to stand in for them would fit the criteria.

Who can apply?

Sole providers who hold Mountain Training or BMG qualifications and work within the scope of the individual qualifications held and are a member of an Association, the Mountain Training Association, Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI), British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML) or British Mountain Guides. 

For the purpose of this scheme:

 The weekend is aimed in particular at small businesses and sole traders and will cover all aspects of good practice in safety management from an independent provider’s perspective. It will also be useful for anyone in a position of responsibility for the safety management of their organisation.
