The passion for mountaineering
The mountains have an irresistible appeal - as practitioners of sports like rock climbing, via ferrata or hiking will tell you, it's addictive. Nearly everyone who tries it once comes back for more. That's why many devote all their free days to mountain activities, gradually progressing until some consider obtaining qualifications like the High Mountain Sports Technician certification.
If you've reached the point where you'd like to dedicate yourself 100% to your passion, the best move is to take one of these courses that can transform your hobby into a career.
Mountain and climbing courses
There are different specialisations so you can focus on what best matches your mountain activities. All are recognised by the Spanish Sports Council (Consejo Superior de Deportes) and courses are run by the Spanish Mountain and Climbing Federation. Note that each autonomous region has its own delegation, so you'll need to contact yours if you're considering obtaining one of these qualifications:
- Higher Education Qualification in High Mountain Sports
- Higher Education Qualification in Rock Climbing
- Higher Education Qualification in Ski Mountaineering
Broadly speaking, these courses aim to give you deeper knowledge of mountain environments, train you to guide groups safely, respond effectively to emergencies, and more. The career opportunities after completing all qualification modules are extensive - you could work with mountaineering clubs, associations, schools, sports academies, and more.
Don't hesitate any longer! What are you waiting for to change your future?
