Mountain
Activity Skills
Training
Along
with building a base of practical
and technical
skills, the program
includes courses
that address the
theoretical aspects
of the Adventure
Tourism Industry
and mountain activities
as well as certifications
which are needed
to enter the industry.
The Mountain Activity Skills Training program (MAST) philosophy is based on providing students with a broad range of skills training following a step by step progression of learning. Our nine-month instructional
format is intensive
and explores the
spectacular mountain
environment surrounding
the South Eastern
Rockies area.
The seasonal nature
of the outdoor
adventure industry
means that we
are training outside
throughout the
nine-month program. |
| Staff: |
|
| All of our mountain skills are taught by certified ACMG (Association of Canadian Mountain Guides) guides. Many of the guides have up to three years of history with the MAST program and enjoy the physical and technical nature of the MAST courses. |
