Mountaineering Ireland Mountainskills Scheme

The advantage of the Mountaineering Ireland (MI) Mountainskills Scheme, MS1 and MS2, is that there is a fixed syllabus with a clear progressive pathway for your skills to develop.

Mountainskills 1 Mountainskills 2

The Mountainskills 1 (MS1) navigation course suits the novice navigator. You may have been hiking and walking for a number of years as part of a group or club and have relied on someone else to lead the hike or you may be hiking solo and now feel the need to develop some navigation skills. The Mountainskills 2 (MS2) navigation course suits the more experienced navigator. You may have already completed MS1 or similar course and now you want to improve your skills. MS2 is typically suited to people who know a bit about using a map and compass to navigate.
