After applying, interviews, reference checks and acceptance we start your training with Fox Mountain Guides. We don't just hire guides, we train, apprentice and further the careers of our guides who wish to work here in NC, or out west and across the globe. This is the reason we can say "we have the highest trained and certified guides in the Southeast working for us!"

If you don not meet the MINIMUM requirements above and still fill out the form below you fail the interview at the first hurdle. Remember, these are MINIMUM requirements and we select the best guides who apply and most have way in excess of the above minimum requirements.

If you do not meet these prerequisites but are still interested in working for FMG please contact us (via email). We will be happy to give advice on training and make suggestions on which of the guide services in the area will employ you to gain experience before coming to work for us in the future.

For multipitch guiding we require that our guides have successfully completed the AMGA Rock Instructor Course. Even after the RIC our guides must have extensive training with the FMG senior guide and must apprentice (shadow, as well as be shadowed) under the FMG senior guide prior to guiding multipitch alone. Fox Mountain Guides strongly encourages, and supports our guides through apprenticeships and ongoing education and certification within the AMGA.
