Apparently this 32 week course is open to experienced civilians as well. It concentrates more on mountain and survival skills more then military which are more taught by Royal Marines mountain leader cadre. Its supposed to be one of the most challenging mountain courses in the world. Please note I am not recruting rather intrested in the subject of mountain warfare. Quite a few professional mountaineers have done this course.

Mountain troop are trained in all aspects of arctic and mountain warfare. They utilise specialist equipment and training to become fully versed in surviving and fighting in extremes of cold and at high altitude.
Mountain Troop often train alongside the Royal Marine Commandos and were likely to have seen action in the mountains of Afghanistan. They train mostly in Norway and Scotland. The Special Air Service instructors learn their craft at the Mountain and Winter Warfare School in Bavaria where they learn "all aspects of arctic and mountain warfare: rock training, ice climbing, skiing, mountain warfare operations, high altitude medicine and mountain rescue." (A-Z of the S.A.S. p.123) The course is very extensive lasting 32weeks buts concentrates mainly on living and surviving in these hazardous conditions. The instructors, and many Special Air Service troops, will also have completed the Royal Marines mountain leader course which concentrates more on combat skills at high altitude and in the arctic.
