Award Description

The Lowland Leader qualification has been designed for people who wish to lead groups on day walks in lowland countryside and woodland in summer conditions. The majority of the UK and Ireland is made up of this type of terrain so you'll never be short of places to go walking.

About

Lowland Leader 

RAW Adventures can provide training and assessment courses for Mountain Training’s Lowland Leader qualification scheme. This nationally recognised scheme has been designed for people who wish to lead groups on day walks in lowland countryside and woodland in summer conditions. The scope and accessibility for this scheme makes it very achievable and appropriate for Duke of Edinburgh leaders and volunteer staff, for example. It is a nationally recognised walking qualification that opens up a natural pathway to other Mountain Training qualifications for leading and working with others in the outdoors. We are also happy to run bespoke courses for groups at an agreed location. Please contact us to discuss further.
