Which course is right for me?
Confident beginners can go straight to a Mountain Training Mountain Skills or NNAS Silver course. However, a slower, more progressive approach often yields better results.
NNAS Aims:
Bronze: To be able to plan and follow routes in the countryside using paths and tracks.
Silver: To be able to plan and follow routes in the countryside navigating away from handrail features for short distances.
Gold: To be able to plan and follow routes in forest, open countryside, hill & mountain environments
Learn Navigation and Hill Skills
Learn how to competently and confidently navigate with a map and compass. As a provider of the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS), our Mountain Leaders have the NNAS Tutor Award Qualification. We will methodically teach you to navigate safety through Scotland’s hills, mountains, forests and glens.
Hillgoers' navigation courses typically consist of a short indoor session then a day or two outside, where you can immediately put into practice what you learn from the leaders.
While not a requirement, it's possible to gain a navigation qualification - Bronze, Silver or Gold from NNAS. The NNAS Navigator Awards (Bronze, Silver and Gold) are accredited by the Scottish Credit & Qualifications Framework (SCQF) at Level 4, 5 and 6 respectively and 2 SCQF credit points are awarded on completion.
