Icelandic Mountain Guides staff training
Icelandic Mountain Guides is proud to be an award winning as well as a leading company for staff training in Icelandic tourism. We have over 20 years of experience in educating, entertaining and assuring the safety of our guests. This applies to the Greenland Ice cap, the summit of Antarctica and everywhere in between. The pinnacle of our educational program is the 27 days of direct training and exams our glacier guides go through from the time they are hired until they achieve the full requirements for an IMG Mountain Guide.
Our award winning training program is based on safety and training standards from New Zealand. In addition to training courses, our guides work over 100 days under direct and indirect supervision and are required to advance to a certain standard in their personal mountaineering.
Most of our guides will have completed an eight day Wilderness First Responder first aid course and have received advanced training from working with the elite units of the Icelandic rescue teams.
