The Boots On The Other Foot!!!

I have changed roles this week from being the Instructor to the instructed. For the past 9 days I have been on a MIA training course Mountaineering Instructors Award training course at Plas Y Brenin National Mountain Centre. The course is the training aspect of gaining your MIA which qualifies you to instruct all aspects of Mountaineering and rock climbing under summer conditions. The course covered teaching the SPA syllabus, Personal climbing, Teaching climbing, climbing problem solving and rescues, teaching mountaineering and scrambling skills including teaching the ML syllabus, Sea level traversing etc. A fantastic course which was incredibly intensive. From this I now have a consolidation period in which I need to go and practice all of these skills prior to returning for assessment hopefully later next year.
