Mountain Leader assessment course Why do your mountain Leader assessment course with Climb365 We base our courses in the heart of the Lake District fells and aim to spend as much time as possible on the mountains rather than in a classroom. We see the assessment process as a continuous one where there is scope for learning and readjustment of ideas while being assessed. We aim to give you as many opportunities as possible to showcase your skills and believe strongly in leaving space within the assessment process to show improvement in skill level. We hope that you will leave the assessment having improved your mountain leadership skills and having learnt and built upon your skills. All our staff are highly qualified (MIC or MIA) and have many years’ experience of ML courses as well as working with groups of young people in the outdoors. The course will cover the Assessment syllabus of the Mountain Leader scheme, and is Mountain Training recognised and approved. We run our Mountain Leader assessment course with a 3 day 2 night expedition to include 2 night navigation exercises. There will be practical, discussion-based or lecture sessions in the evenings and a we shall review the home paper which you will have completed before attending the course. The courses will start at 9.00 a.m on the first day and finish at tea time (around 4 pm) on the last day. Accommodation is self catering.
