As a course provider for Mountaineering Ireland, I run Mountain Skills 1 and 2 training courses, accordingly to the Mountaineering Ireland Syllabus. The scheme is divided up into ; Mountain Skills 1 and Mountain Skills 2 and a Mountain Skills Assessment. The aim of these courses which run over 2 weekends or 4 days, is to help you learn the skills you need to get out hiking; independently, safely, responsibly in the mountains of Ireland, the UK and beyond. To navigate with confidence using a map, a compass and proper equipment in any type of weather condition during day or night time (night time training as being part of MS2). There are  2 to 3 hours indoor sessions on the Saturday and Sunday morning but, most of the course will take place outdoor with a night navigation up to 9 or 10 pm mostly held in Autumn or Winter ( MS2)
