About Lowland Leader Assessment

The Lowland Leader Award enables walkers experienced on low-level terrain to lead groups on day walks in the countryside and woodland of the United Kingdom and Ireland, in summer conditions.

This two (2) day (16 hour) assessment will measure your competencies against the Lowland Leader syllabus. On successful completion of the assessment, you’ll be qualified to lead groups in the varied and beautiful lowland areas of 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 our 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.

Prerequisites for the Lowland Leader Assessment

Completed a Lowland Leader Training course (or have been granted exemption).
Logged a minimum of 20 walks in lowland countryside in different types of terrain (woodland, coastal, farmland etc).
Have physically (i.e. not online) attended and completed a first aid course which involved at least two full days or sixteen hours of instruction and included an element of assessment.
Before you attend an assessment, you will also need to complete a ‘Home Paper’ to complete in your own time.

If you have any questions about your suitability for assessment, please get in touch.
