The Expedition Skills Module is an optional module available to walking leaders. It's an opportunity to increase your skills where you will be trained and assessed to lead groups on multi day camping expeditions. The flexibility of the module makes it useful for Lowland Leaders, Hill and Moorland Leaders and Mountain Leaders in terrain and conditions within the scope of their respective qualification.
The Expedition Skills Module is ideal for those involved with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and/or Ten Tors training (among other things) because the skills covered apply to expeditions using commercial campsites as well as wild camping.ItineraryExpedition Skills courses are delivered by Mountain Training approved Providers and will include a minimum of sixteen hours contact time. At the discretion of the course provider, candidates may also be set a variety of tasks prior to their attendance. Candidates will be tested in accordance with the syllabus and should ensure they are familiar with it before attending the course. Attendance will be recorded by the provider or director and entered on to the Mountain Training Candidate Management
