Mountain Training has developed a new e-learning area in your account to better support candidates at every stage of their Mountain Training journey, from preparing for training and assessment courses, to continuing personal/professional development (CPD) after qualification.
The new e-learning area allows us to provide:
- Accessible learning to help candidates arrive better prepared and more confident on courses
- Ongoing learning opportunities for qualified candidates to maintain and develop their knowledge
- Engaging, interactive learning content that supports different learning styles
By moving to this new e‑learning hub, we can offer a more consistent, modern and supportive learning experience aligned with Mountain Training standards and current good practice.
Most importantly, Mountain Training Association members get a discount off all our e-learning courses, including free access to some courses for Association members only.
Many e-learning courses offer up to 0.5 CPD points for Association members and varying points for the other associations.
You can find the e-learning area in tahdah in the top bar:
