A completion of two days in-service training every five years is mandatory for all Full Guides.

It is the responsibility of each qualified Guide to remain up to date with new techniques and developments. The BMG will run in-service training on a regular basis. Each Guide must complete a minimum of two days every five years on relevant subjects offered by the Association. It is the Guide's responsibility to seek advice and training in areas of work not covered by the BMG syllabus (e.g. Himalayan climbing, industrial rope-access work, canyoning, mountain first aid training courses) should they wish to offer their services in those areas.
