| The NZMGA training and certification
programme aims to promote high minimum standards of
climbing, skiing, mountain craft, snow safety, emergency
procedures and responsible guide/client relationships
amongst professional climbing, ski and glacier guides.
The Association gained international recognition
in 1981, becoming the eighth member of the International
Union of Mountain Guides Associations - the UIAGM,
or IFMGA. NZMGA qualified guides now operate world-wide. |
