Hill and Moorland Leader Assessment

About Hill and Moorland Leader Assessment

The Hill and Moorland Leader Award enables experienced hill walkers to lead groups on day walks in the hills and moorlands of the United Kingdom and Ireland in summer conditions.

A three (3) day (30 hour) assessment to measure your competencies against the Hill and Moorland Leader syllabus, run in a relaxed style to help you perform and achieve.

On successful completion of the assessment, you’ll be qualified to safely and effectively lead groups in open, uncultivated, non-mountainous high or remote country in the UK and Ireland.

As approved Mountain Training providers with a proven track record, we know how to set you up for success. Led by experienced trainers, you’ll be part of small groups of up to 4 people. This 1:4 ratio allows us to personalise your experience and give you the best chance of successfully completing your assessment.
