Mountain Walking Guide Curriculum (Rev 3)

This document contains the official SA AIA Mountain Walking Guide – Courses Curriculum (Revision 3). It provides the structured framework required to deliver and assess Mountain Walking Guide technical competence, including:

 

What’s included

  • Two progressive scopes of practice:
    • Mountain Walking Guide – Limited Scope (MWGL)
    • Mountain Walking Guide – Full Scope (MWG)
  • Clear entry requirements, including the Quality Mountain Day (QMD) concept for Full Scope readiness.
  • Course duration minimums (theory + field + assessment) for both scopes.
  • Learning outcomes tables for Limited Scope and Full Scope technical skills.
  • Potential scope extension modules (Limited Scope add-on modules).
  • Assessment principles and final assessment requirements.

 

How this fits into the bigger system
SA AIA’s Technical Competency Framework provides the activity-specific technical layer that supports adventure tourism guiding, ABL and LOTC practice. This curriculum is not a standalone qualification, but an SA AIA technical curriculum intended to be used alongside relevant formal accredited training pathways and legal requirements where applicable.
