AMGA SPI Courses and Exams

 

The Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) Program teaches climbing instructors to proficiently facilitate and instruct rock climbing in a single pitch setting.  For climbers who wish to work professionally in single pitch terrain, the SPI has become the most important training and certification for aspiring guides in the US. 

 

SIET offers the SPI Program in Salt Lake City and Moab. As Licensed SPI Program Providers, we are proud to offer a training experience that includes multiple educational resources not just during the course/exam, but also before and after each program. All SIET SPI programs are taught by IFMGA Certified Guides. If you think this program might be right for you, feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email to discuss the benefits of this training.
