Mountain Activity Skills Training (MAST)

Nine months of instruction in a wide variety of activities from rafting to ski touring.

1. Theoretical Applications (MSTA) Courses that pertain to tourism, computers, the organizational and environmental aspects of tourism. Research, communication, and critical thinking skills are emphasized.
2. Safety and Emergency Response Skills (SERS). This section is comprised of courses that relate to management of emergencies, hazard recognition and avoidance.
3. Mountain Activity Skills Development (MASD). This includes the majority of the practical skills. Opportunity is given for exploration in mountain sport activities.

Our nine-month instructional format is intensive and explores the spectacular mountain environment surrounding the South Eastern Rockies area. The seasonal nature of the outdoor adventure industry means that we are training outside throughout the nine-month program.www.cotr.bc.ca/MAST
