ABOUT AMI
AMI is the representative Association for qualified Mountaineering Instructors. All of our Members are independent, and either run their own businesses or work for larger organisations. We list them here so you can find them easily and see what they have to offer.
Depending on the nature of the course or activity you should expect to pay upwards of £200 per day for the services of a Mountaineering Instructor. Remote areas, winter conditions, long routes and specialist experience are just some of the factors that may justify a higher daily rate.
Ratios vary greatly depending on the grade or nature of the terrain but an instructor/client ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 is typical for rock climbing, winter climbing and scrambling in mountainous environments. In some circumstances a higher ratio is possible, such as a larger group size at a lower and less remote venue. Maximum ratios for these days are determined by the instructor.
Select your instructor and contact them directly to make your enquiries.

I grew up in the Peak District and first climbed on Peak Grit stone at the age of 17. With a HND in Photography I worked in London as a freelance photographer in advertising studio's before beginning his career in the outdoors.I am fully qualified and hold the Mountain Instructor Certificate. This is the highest UK qualification for summer and winter climbing and mountaineering. I have worked with groups throughout the United Kingdom in both summer and winter conditions. I also work as a technical advisor to local centres and run training and assessment courses for other instructors. My aim is to be very approachable and like helping you enjoy the outdoors. I hope you will feel able to call or email me to chat through your aims and aspirations.

I work as the climbing Development Officer for Active Stirling who are a sports trust that deliver sport activities on behalf of Stirling Council. I manage the Climbing wall at the Peak in Stirling and also work with Climbers schools and clubs to develop climbing mountaineering and the outdoors in the Stirlingshire area. I love what I am able to do and helping to develop people to enjoy the outdoors especially climbing which I absolutely love
I moved to North Wales in 1991 (when I was 21) and immediately discovered Mountains! Before this I lived in Leicester and worked in an office - so the location and the job limited my opportunities somewhat! I realised they were a great places to go for personal enjoyment and also to use to engage with the groups I was working with. My first job in North Wales was with young adults with learning difficulties (for MENCAP). I have worked in various social worker type roles since then for both public and private sector and have continued to use the outdoor environment to engage with people. I now travel all over the world regularly taking groups up Kilimanjaro and into the High Atlas mountains of Morocco as well as running and supporting various courses in beautiful Snowdonia.Working in such a wonderful place and being able to share my passion and respect for the mountains makes me feel really fortunate!
