MIAS The Mountain Bike Instructors Award Scheme (MIAS) Benefits and History Q MIAS level 2 instructor is awarded a QCF level 2, this is equivalent to a GCSE and a MIAS level 3 instructor is awarded a QCF level 3, which is equivalent to an “A” level. The MIAS award is also operated under the European Qualifications Framework and is equivalent to e level 4 in this award, which means it is recognised in France as a leaders award for mountain biking. This can be of use if your considering working in the Alps. There is no current UK wide National Governing Body, although some other organisations may state so. However, the MIAS award has been in practice for longer than any other mountain bike award, and is recognised by the AALS. Also, unlike other awards MIAS does recognise that you may come with a life time of experience in outdoor education and mountain biking so we do recognise approved prior learning, as well as training you may have undertaken with other recognised award providers. This means we can fast track some training if the prior training with other awards can be evidenced. This award has been used by guides and members of the armed services, the police, mountain guides, schools and youth groups in: Chile, France, Spain, Singapore, New Zealand, Crete, Morocco, Canada and Italy, making it a very credible award for leading and guiding abroad Alternatively feel free to use the antique and old fashioned method of communication with an actual Phone Call. 07941 212719 Everyone must have a safe working bicycle suitable for the terrain, a helmet, and clothing suitable for the weather.

Today, the family isn’t just hanging out—they are hanging on. A group family rock climbing lesson is one of those rare experiences that levels the playing field, turning parents and kids into teammates facing the exact same vertical challenge. The lesson kicks off with the guide handing out gear. There’s a flurry of adjusting helmets, stepping into harnesses, and learning the mandatory safety checks. For the kids, the gear makes them feel like superheroes; for the parents, it’s a comforting reminder that physics and nylon ropes have their backs. Once everyone is tied in, the real magic begins. Climbing is inherently individual, but in a family group, it becomes a collective effort. From the ground, a chorus of encouragement erupts: “Trust your feet!” “There’s a great handhold to your left!” High-fives are exchanged after clearing a tough section, and genuine comfort is offered if someone decides they’ve gone high enough for the day. As the session wraps up, everyone is sporting dusty hands, tired forearms, and massive smiles. The kids have discovered a new sense of resilience, and the parents have experienced the rare joy of watching their children conquer fears in real-time. Long after the ropes are packed away, the shared adrenaline and newfound trust remain, leaving the family bonded by an unforgettable adventure. - [Private climbing coaching Indoor lead.](https://www.everythingawesome.co.uk/product/private-climbing-coaching-2/) - Private coaching - [Private climbing coaching](https://www.everythingawesome.co.uk/product/private-climbing-coaching/) - Private coaching - [Abseil morning. - Peak District - Sheffield.](https://www.everythingawesome.co.uk/product/abseil-morning/) - A morning, maybe an afternoon possibly an evening.
