The Mountain Leader scheme which is accredited by Mountain Training offers the opportunity to gain technical competence in leading walkers in the hills and mountains. It is the combination of technical skills, wide experience and personal leadership qualities, which form the basis for effective group management, and the scheme assesses all these aspects. Whilst fostering a love of the hills in others, group leaders should show appreciation of the needs of hill users, rural communities and upland habitats and encourage an understanding of the problems of mountain conservation and access. Consideration of these aspects is vital if the mountain environment is to be protected. The term 'summer' is used to describe any conditions not covered by Winter. Winter can be defined as the time when snow and ice prevail or are forecast. Neither term can be defined by a portion of the year.
• You must be at least 18 years old • You should have at least a year’s worth of experience of mountain walking • You should have an interest in leading groups in the mountains • You must be a member of a mountaineering council: BMC, Mountaineering Scotland or Mountaineering Ireland (you can join one when you register if you're not already a member)
