15 Educators providing Care courses in Bangor, Gwynedd

mountain training

The wide range of adventure sports and activities (hill walking/hiking, rock climbing, scrambling, mountaineering, etc.) are by their very nature irregular and unregulated. Unlike competitive team sports for example, there are generally no rules to most climbing and walking activities, but there is a strong duty of care held by leaders with potentially dire consequences to getting things wrong. It is therefore essential that anyone using a volunteer or professional leader, instructor or coach knows that this person is competent and qualified to do the job.
