Candidates are advised to continue to develop skills learned during their training course on suitable Lowland terrain walks until they feel confident of their ability to lead groups before they present themselves for assessment. Prior to assessment all candidates must have completed an absolute minimum of 20 logged walks in lowland countryside. Duplicated walks must not be counted in this total and walks should encompass a breadth of different lowland terrains i.e. coast, forest, farmland. Experience gained in other mountain activities is useful, but not a pre-requisite. Some non–UK/ Ireland experience may be included, but should be in terrain and conditions that are similar to those in the UK/Ireland and must be unguided. Normally any overseas days would be considered as additional experience and should not form a substantial part of the required total. Prior to the assessment candidates must have physically attended and completed (i.e. not online) a first aid course which involved at least two full days or sixteen hours of instruction and included an element of assessment.
Assessment courses will contain a minimum of 16 hours contact time and will be delivered by Mountain Training approved providers. 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 System.Day 1Assess the syllabus areas Day 2Candidates will be assessed on the syllabus criteria
