In order to ensure quality in all MDT schemes, only trainers & assessors approved and accredited by the South African Mountaineering Development and Training Trust (MDT) may provide training that will lead to MDT accreditation.

Approval System for Service Providers

Approval as a Service Provider may only be granted to an individual and not an organisation. Initial approval is achieved by submission of the above stated certification to the National Management Committee and is then only for one "Probationary" course which will be observed and moderated. If a favourable report is received, then approval will be granted for the next two years.

Service Provider status is only granted for two years. A review at the end of this time enables the Natcom to consider the status of the Provider and re certify them if all moderations of courses have been up to standard as determined during the moderation of courses.

Workshops

All Service Providers may organise training events or workshops for other Providers. Attendance at an approved workshop at least once during the two year period is mandatory for re certification.

Moderation

Moderation of Training and Assessment courses will be undertaken on a random basis and Service Providers will be informed of the outcomes of the moderations to enable them to correct irregularities or to be acknowledged for good courses.
