What is the Mountain Training Association?
The Mountain Training Association (MTA) is the biggest community of trainee and qualified leaders, coaches, and instructors when it comes to walking, climbing, and mountaineering in the UK and Ireland. They provide members with support and development opportunities, workshops, and events to help people work towards or keep current in their qualifications, skills, and knowledge.
The association was created in 2005 to build a network of candidates for mentorship and peer support between climbing, walking, and mountaineering professionals and volunteers.
Their Mission:
To build a community of confident and expert coaches, instructors, and leaders.
Their Vision:
For ALL Mountain Training candidates to join the association because it stands for excellence, community, currency, and professionalism and is recognised as such by the wider public.
