The Association of Mountaineering Instructors

I am a member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI), which is the representative body for professionally qualified Mountaineering Instructors in the UK and Ireland. AMI is committed to promoting good practice in all mountaineering instruction and the qualification that I hold - The Mountaineering Instructor Certificate (MIC), represents the highest level of UK mountaineering qualifications. All AMI members adhere to a professional code of practice and undertake continuing professional development training (CPD). Look for the AMI logo as assurance of high quality instruction.


AMI members are highly experienced mountaineers who have undergone rigorous training and assessment to qualify under the Mountain Training UK (MTUK) Mountaineering Instructor scheme. This weekend was the AMI's AGM and instructors from all over the country converged at the National Mountain Centre, Plas y Brenin, for a weekend of training, continued professional development (CPD) and some general socialising. I was only able to attend the Saturday evenings meetings and meal, but it was great to see so many Mountaineering Instructors, while catching up with old friends from around the country as well as meeting some new ones.
