Day 2 of the MIAS Level 3 assessment and a successful one it was. Both Simon and I comfortably passed the assessment criteria and are now both Level 3, Mountainous Terrain Instructors with Night Riding endorsement.
Simon, Pete and I were all on Level 3 assessment and for todays assessment we were joined by three others who were on their Level 2 training. We were tasked to help train the level 2's with Gareth the assessor, looking at navigation, group leadership and skills coaching. Through out the day we delivered small coaching sessions to develop the aspirant level 2's, helped them to lead legs on level 2 terrain, improve their navigation skills and then lead them down the Level 3 terrain at the end of the day.
As I am working toward my Level 4 tutor status as well, Gareth gave me the opportunity to cover some of the leadership styles and techniques required for Level 1/2. This meant I could be observed delivering at Level 4 as well ready for the delivery of my first Level 1 course that will be advertised shortly.
The weather today was pretty awful with rain and winds gusting up to 40mph. In normal circumstances we would not operate in these conditions but it was a good opportunity to show the aspirant Level 2's weather conditions that are out of remit.
