BOOKING & ENGAGING US
You will find booking information here, including how to book guiding with Mountain Assurance Ltd in Scotland and Europe. Our prices are also listed here along with some frequently asked questions (FAQ’s). If you don’t want to read all this information then feel free to contact us and we can explain things over the phone.
You will find some guideline prices for assured expertise, for example consultancy, and acting as a competent person to advise on safety. Please treat these as a starting point. There are no off the peg solutions here, and we will want to understand your needs and wants early in a project after which we will provide a quote.
Training courses are usually fixed in price, unless delivered at your premises.
