Becoming a Mountain Leader summer or winter allows you to work in and introduce other to the Mountains and Crags of the UK, it is an amazing job full of challenge and reward. The environment is often remote, technical and exposed to the variable UK weather! This makes them a challenging place for novices and so the role of any leader, instructor or coach is a challenging one.

We are a hugely experienced provider of the Summer and Winter Mountain Leader Awards, with all our trainers and assessors not only being experienced in delivering the courses but experienced and current in working as Mountain Leaders in all sessions, allowing us empathy and an understanding of the job.
