AMGA Courses

Pursuing a career as an outdoor instructor or mountain guide? We recommend the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) training and certification program. The AMGA is the only internationally recognized educational program for aspiring guides in the US.

AMA offers entry level guide training courses in the rock and alpine disciplines. We also offer AMGA customized training's for individuals preparing for rock, alpine, and ski courses or exams. Training’s include a detailed assessment of current guiding practices and recommended areas to focus on.

All Mountain Adventures encourages professional instructors and guides to strengthen their skills and broaden their knowledge with an AMGA course.

What we offer:

Single Pitch Instructor Course     Single Pitch Instructor Assessment     Rock Instructor Course     Alpine Guide Course

AMA recognizes the value of certification to the full extent, therefore we only hire IFMGA guides. We continue to support the AMGA by giving back to the guiding community. Several of our guides instruct courses and exams, serve on the AMGA Board of Directors, as well as the AMGA Technical Committee. AMA owner, Keith Garvey, also serves as the President of the Certified Guides Federation (a non-profit organization supporting AMGA certification through access and insurance).
