Welcoming our New Trainee Instructors
We welcomed 7 new enthusiastic trainee instructors to our Cairngorms base just over two weeks ago. The instructor training course is a 5 month intense course that provides training towards outdoor qualifications; SPA, SML, UKCC L1 (or 2) British Cycling Award to name but a few. The strong team have already completed and successfully obtained their Scottish Rafting Guide qualification. There was some great guiding by the team and strong team work coming through. The weekend had the team out in Cairngorm Mountains ticking off the Braeriach Traverse. One of the most iconic must do routes in the National Park. Braving the weather and cold water had the trainees in our two canyons! Jumps, Slides, Flumes, Abseiling and a Zip Line thrown in as well. Smiles and fun learning all round. We look forward to developing them all going forward. Watch this space for more updates!For more information on the instructor training course and for course dates please click here.
