The Association's Mentoring Programme is now open for applications!

Would you like a Mentor?

 

Mountain Training Association's Mentoring programme is designed to offer members additional one to one support after attending a training course, to help with their journey to assessment.

 

It is available to you if you have:

 

  • Completed training for one of Mountain Training's qualifications
  • Feel that additional support would help you on your journey to assessment. 

 

The process for gaining a place on the programme is:

 

  • Complete an application form
  • Complete a self-led online training module
  • Attend a tutor-led 'Meet your Mentor' online event to shape a written agreement with your Mentor outlining your intended working partnership and commitment to each other.
  • Be committed to at least 6 interactions with your Mentor using a medium that suits you both
  • Complete an MTA feedback and evaluation questionnaire at 6 months and 12 months.

 

The mentoring relationship can end following the 12-month feedback, or continue if both parties are willing

 

The mentoring itself is provided by experienced qualified members of MTA who have done your journey and are enthusiastic to support you in yours. They can offer wisdom, guidance, sign posting, accountability, advice and much more. Your Mentor will have undergone MTA's Mentor training and will be equipped with resources to help you set and accomplish your goals.
