Venture Club
Awards System
The Venture Club Awards System was introduced to give members an indication of their mountain skill level and reward for personal achievement. Currently there are five awards available for members to gain.

The two top awards:
Junior Mountain Leader
and
Junior Instructor
should assist members to achieve SA Mountaineering Development & Training Trust (MDT) awards
and National Qualifications when they are older.

Venture Forth is a registered NQF and MDT training and assessment centre.
