NOTE Despite what we cover on the course, we do not specifically teach those basic skills, but hopefully consolidate those skills in combination with medical knowledge. If these skills are new to you on this course, you are are less likely to get as much out attending than if you come prepared with better mountain skills. If you are unsure, then they you should plan on going to a climbing gym, hire a guide, take an intro to mountaineering course, take an AST course for some instruction prior to coming on a module.
You must achieve a minimum standard of mountains skills before graduating and preferably even before attending a course.
