Andrew also maintains a navigation website with the latest info and free tools: http://www.navigationskills.com/ - go have a look and learn!

We have received some feedback from Jill Bogie about our Mountain Walking Guide training and assessment program which we believe is very useful to prospective students. Please view her feedback here: http://www.ventureforth.co.za/testimonials 

Thanks for the feedback Jill, happy guiding and see you on the mountain!

We have just completed another successful Advanced Mountain Leader training course and we have received excellent feedback from the course students - some of the feedback was added to the Testimonials page on the website if you would like to have a look. All the students have signed up for assessment and will soon be working in the adventure field as legal guides. Venture Forth is proud to be providing the high level of training these prospective mountain guides require and so improving the quality of the adventure industry for tourists and operators alike.

We will be running one of our highly regarded Abseil Guide training courses again 15 - 19 March. The course is the ideal place to start a career in adventure guiding.

For all the illegal abseil guides out there: come get the training and skills required to complete assessment and get legal, avoid fines and provide a safe mountain experience for your clients. Smart clients use legal and registered guides!

We are running an Advanced Mountain Walking Guide course from 23 - 31 January 2010. This is one of our most popular courses and we are very proud of the excellent feedback we always receive after each course. If you are planning on doing any form of mountain guiding this is the right place to start. Book now!
