SOUTH AFRICAN MOUNTAIN TRAINING STANDARDS

Established in 1994 , the Mountain Training Standards Trust develops and maintains nationally recognised standards for the many clubs, organisations and individuals active in mountain related activities - both recreationally and commercially. The program, which is endorsed by the U.I.A.A, is managed by the South African Mountaineering Standards and Training Trust, a legally constituted body registered with the master of the Supreme Court, coordinates and administers the functioning of the National Training Program. Training and or assessment courses are run by Service Providers approved and accredited by the National Management Committee.

This website will give prospective climbers, hikers and abseilers the information they need on mountaineering standards in South Africa. The SAMTS is the industry standard for mountain skills, training and assessments.
