The Mountaineering Instructor Certificate, known as the MIC, is for instructors working in winter conditions.
It covers multi-pitch winter climbing and other winter mountaineering skills.
Mountain Leader Training England has produced a DVD showcasing the eight leadership and instructional awards available in the UK.The film provides an overview of the experience required to train for the MIC, how it is assessed, and the work that MIC holders do.
