More about the MDT The MDT programme arose out of a mandate from representatives of the main mountaineering and hiking clubs of South Africa. At a conference held at Kirstenbosch in 1994, these organisations, recognising the fact that an increasing number people were venturing into our mountains, increasing the risk of injury and death, felt that nationally recognised leadership and skills standards should be established. Since then many professional and semi-professional guides and instructors have become involved in, or endorsed the activities of the MDT.
The MDT’s Mountain Training Scheme integrates training and assessment in both mountain walking and rock climbing. Training and assessment courses cover all levels of skill from basic mountain walking and rock climbing through to the Mountaineering Instructor Award where the recipient is qualified to lead parties and instruct mountain-craft under all conditions in any of South Africa’s mountains. The programme, standards, course syllabi and certification is co-ordinated and controlled by the South African Mountaineering and Training Trust which is a legally constituted body registered with the Master of the Supreme Court. Training and assessment courses are run by individuals approved and accredited by the Trust.
