During the course we will look at what navigation techniques need to
be taught at LL, HML and ML levels, how we might deliver these,
and how we might assess them. We will focus on progressions for
learning and teaching navigation, and discuss simplifying our
teaching, rather than overloading our candidates. We’ll look at which
navigation techniques are genuinely useful to the navigator, and
which are maybe less useful. Discussing assessing, what is the
required standard, and how we might record each candidate’s
performance using digital tools will conclude the day.
The workshop will be partly indoor and partly outdoor based.

Graham Uney is an experienced Course Director of LL, HML and ML
training and assessment courses, as well as teaching navigation at a
more basic level to beginner walkers through the National Navigation
Award Scheme since 1998. In addition to his Mountain Training
qualifications Graham also has O level and A level Navigation
qualifications, which enables him to understand both useful and less
useful ways to teach navigation to others, and to assess which navigation tools are most often required by the navigator.

The workshop is open to AMI full or trainee members with an interest in working on Lowland Leader, Hill and Moorland Leader, or Mountain Leader courses.

Please bring personal walking equipment, packed lunch, OS Explorer OL5 and a compass.
