Bryn Williams Mountaineering

I completed my Mountain Leader training with Bryn and his team in April 2022, and I was so impressed with the 6 days that there was only one choice for my assessment. We were assessed over a 5 day period, which sounds a daunting process, but the way Bryn and Dan Lane ran our week gave us all the opportunity to demonstrate our skills, make mistakes and correct them, and above all, have 5 great days out in the hills. It was very much a continued learning process, I honestly feel I learnt as much on my assessment as on my training. I cannot recommend Bryn highly enough.

I just completed my Mountain Leader Assessment with Bryn (and Dan Lane). From the initial booking to the first day, comms were good and helped me prepare for the week. During the assessment Bryn and Dan were really supportive, providing tips to help us progress beyond our current levels of competence. Underlying the whole week was a feeling that they really wanted to give us every opportunity to pass. Both Bryn and Dan exude confidence and knowledge - in way that encourages questions, enables debate and so facilitates learning. This is a first rate provider of outdoor training.

I have previously undertaken both my Rock Climbing Instructor training and assessment with Bryn together with two other occasions where I have been fortunate enough to have Bryn as an instructor. Based on these hugely positive and enjoyable experiences I booked to undertake my 6 day Mountain Leader (ML) training course last week (12 -17 March). I am pleased to say that despite what the weather could throw at us (melting snow, temperatures close to freezing, gale force winds and torrential rain) the six of us (plus Bryn) survived and had an amazing; challenging but character building time in the Welsh mountains. Bryn is an excellent coach, instructor, guide, mentor and consummate professional. He has the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to impart complex information in a way that is easily understood and at a pace where the information was easy to digest and put into practice. This immense experience and knowledge enables Bryn to use different teaching styles to match individual needs and ensure understanding. Everything was explained clearly and thoroughly in an appropriate context. Feedback was always given in a positive, patient, constructive and encouraging manner with an emphasis on personal growth and development. Bryn uses his experience to adapt his style of leadership as required to fit any situation, impressively leading by example as an exceptional role model. He is hugely supportive and an excellent motivator who has the ability to criticise and deliver 'bad news' in a way that has positive outcome. The courses was delivered in a relaxed, fun, enjoyable and inspiring style. This was the atmosphere that ran throughout where everyone benefited from the perfect learning environment. I cannot recommend Bryn and his team highly enough to anyone looking to go through Mountain Training qualifications or engage him as a guide or instructor and will certainly be booking with him and returning to undertake my ML assesment. Thanks Bryn.

The mountain Leader course was brilliant. Highly recommend it to anyone!! Bryn is an amazing instructor, approachable and professional he demonstrates great leadership on the course. This also creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere within the group. By far the best outdoor course I have completed. 100% returning to complete the assessment course with Bryn Williams Mountaineering
