PVB Weekends
The first PvB weekend of 2026 will take place on April 25-26 in Freyr.
Registrations for the weekend of April 25-26 will be open until March 26th. You can sign up through this link: https://forms.gle/PxzNFHe77TqhA5Ut7
Registration does not guarantee an actual PVB exam. You will be contacted as soon as possible after the registrations have closed with further information and the planning.
This year too, we will strictly adhere to the deadlines set by the NKBV.
- The deadline for registering is one month before the PvB weekend.
The deadline for submitting your portfolio in FLOWSPARKS is three weeks in advance.
A few more points of attention, mainly for the learning coaches and the candidates:
- Each candidate’s learning coach must be aware that they intend to take the exam.
- Registration is only final once payment has been completed. The payment details can be found in the registration form. If you wish to take multiple exams in one weekend, please ensure you pay the correct amount. Some SACs will reimburse (part of) the costs. Check with your own SAC for the applicable rules
- SKI candidates must possess a valid first aid certificate or have this course scheduled at the time of registration.
- For a Personal Skills and MP exam, you must arrange one climber yourself. For a SKI exam, you must arrange four climbers yourself.
The next 2 PvB weekends of 2026 will take place on June 6-7 and October 10-11. Sign ups will open 2 months beforehand.
EHBBO courses
A first aid course is organized for each PvB weekend. Unfortunately at the moment it is not clear when the next first aid course will take place as it is unclear from the organisation through which we organize this. Most probably it will only be in May or June. We are currently looking for alternatives and will update as soon as we have more information regarding possibilities for a first aid course.
This course is intended for anyone who would like to learn to provide first aid (in mountainous terrain). Instructors in training will be given priority in this course.
For SKIers who still need a first aid certificate to be eligible for the exam, please know that this is not a problem. It’s perfectly fine to take your first aid certificate after your PvB, as long as it’s scheduled during your exam.
