New for the 2009 season Rock and Ice will be offering first aid training and qualifications for those interested in pursuing the First aid at work certificate and the appointed persons first aid certificate.

These courses are run by paramedics who are active so you will get a grounded view from thier extensive hands on experience.

Our first aid courses can be taken almost anywhere: Wales, High Peak, Scotland etc.

All courses will have emphasis on the outdoors

Rock and Ice have been really busy with courses and other activities over the summer, we have welcomed several new mountaineering instructors (male and female) to our growing list of excellent freelance staff.

Over the last few months we have been working on Mountain skills courses in North Wales and introduction to rock climbing in Derbyshire. We have undertaken responsibility to ensure many charity abseils are successful and also worked with new companies like Mountain hardware and EON providing corporate events.

All in all its been a good year for outdoor pursuit companies, even with the credit crunch we are still getting requests for courses running into December.

Hopefully things will continue to be productive in the new year - we intend to run courses in France in 2009 as our qualifications (AMI) have been recognised there finally.
