AMI Workshop Staff Training Weekend






I am a member of the workshop staff for the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI). Throughout the year we run a range of workshops for people that have completed their Mountain Instructor Award (MIA) training and are preparing for assessment. The MIA is the highest level of instructional qualification for teaching rock climbing and mountaineering in summer conditions in the UK.
This weekend I have been at Plas Y Brenin on a workshop that brought together the workshop staff and the staff from the national centres of Plas Y Brenin and Glenmore Lodge. We spent the weekend sharing ideas, looking at common problem areas for trainees and exploring training methods. It has been a beautiful cold crisp and dry weekend with plenty of sunshine and temperatures barely above freezing all weekend.
