Emma Holland Mountain Training specialises in navigation training and can organise courses, training, and support for all abilities and levels. I deliver courses for groups or individuals through my advertised public sessions. You also have the option to contact me directly to organise a bespoke day for a private group to suit your own availability (min 2 max 6)
All private bookings (group or individual) or navigation courses are designed and built around your needs. It could be in preparation for your Summer Mountain Leader course, or you may be walking the Coast to Coast and want to learn to navigate.
I offer one or two-day courses for beginners, intermediate or advanced or if you’d like to take part in an accredited course, there are two-day NNAS (National Navigation Scheme Award) navigation courses available with a certificate on completion.
Alongside my standard courses I also offer more specialised and unique courses such as training with GPS devices, OS Maps, Night Navigation or Contour only courses.
I’m pleased to announce that Ben Hunt, ML is now working with me and delivering some of my navigation courses. I first met Ben when he was matched with me as an MTA mentee. I was Ben’s mentor for a year and supported his ML training until his assessment. Ben is a good friend who I trust and is equally experienced and qualified. Occasionally, Ben will deliver some of my courses. If you want to guarantee that I am delivering the course, please contact me.
