First, we assess the test you want to prepare for, your experience and the areas you find most difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, the training is structured in four steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Initial assessment:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> identify your current level.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Identification of weak points:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> navigation, endurance, technique, pace or progression.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Specific work:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> train the areas you genuinely need to improve.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Simulation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> apply what you have learned in situations similar to those in the test.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Train for the test, not just for the mountains<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having mountain experience does not automatically guarantee a good result in an access test. The format requires candidates to complete specific tasks, using particular equipment and within set time limits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why the preparation aims to combine real mountain experience with training focused specifically on <\/span><b>the criteria assessed in the relevant call<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Are you preparing for an access test?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us the speciality, the call you plan to apply for, your experience and which part you need to improve.

For this reason, <strong>the duration of the training, number of sessions and price are determined individually<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Before planning the course, we have a short conversation to understand your starting point: what experience you have, which techniques you already master, what you need to improve and what your objective is.<\/p>\n<p>Someone starting from zero does not need the same training as someone who already practises the activity and wants to perfect specific techniques.

The training is designed to help you understand the requirements, correct weak points and arrive better prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can I train only navigation?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes.
