Mountain Training England have commissioned Dr Samantha McElligott to deliver a series of four webinars for providers and course staff on the topics of giving feedback, goal setting, questioning skills and listening skills. These CPD webinars are designed to support providers in the delivery of their courses with a focus on helping candidates progress towards assessment. The content has been developed in response to a four-year PhD research project into candidate pathways through our schemes: read the report
