Overview

The Hill and Moorland Leader scheme is designed for people who want to lead groups in the hills and moorlands of the UK and Ireland. If you love being out in the hills and want to share your enthusiasm with others, become a Hill and Moorland Leader and you’ll never look back (unless you’re checking your group’s still there!). Hill and Moorland Leaders operate the length and breadth of the country with all sorts of groups of people; from scouts and schoolchildren to outdoor instructors and OAPs. The qualification is what you make it and there are countless opportunities for passionate leaders.
 

Hill and Moorland Leader training courses are our chance to help you become the best leader you can. For us, the essence of good instructing is the ability to tailor the delivery to the appropriate level for each individual and to make the best use of the mountain conditions that are available. As such we’ll use our wealth of experience and extensive local knowledge to select the best venues and opportunities to introduce the principles of each skill in the syllabus. We’ll give you lots of opportunities to practice, in a progressive manner, so that you’ll finish the course confident in your ability to apply these skills in a variety of different scenarios.
 

This qualification complements and supports the other walking qualifications administered by Mountain Training (Lowland Leader, Camping Leader, and Mountain Leader).
