Award Description

This qualification trains and assesses candidates in the skills required to lead parties in mountainous areas, including snow-covered Nordic type terrain of the “middle” mountains but excluding via ferratas, glaciers and terrain requiring alpine techniques. The IML builds on the Mountain Leader qualification, which candidates must hold. To operate professionally outside the UK, IML-holders must be a member of an association such as BAIML.

Working in the EU

In the specific case of the European Union and as a consequence of the UK’s departure from it, there are at least temporary recognition issues in various EU member countries. This is a dynamic situation and individual IMLs, the British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML) and the Union of International Mountain Leader Associations (UIMLA) are all working to resolve these issues. For up to date information go to https://baiml.org/. A valuable reference point in these discussions is that MTUKI’s International Mountain Leader qualification is recognised by the Scottish Qualification Authority at level 10 on its qualification framework.

Run by highly experienced and knowledgable IML's and BMG Guide's. This is incorporated into our IML Summer Training Course. Course fee is for the 5 day IML Summer Training including the Speed Navigation and includes comfy en-suite accommodation, all meals, equipment hire (if you need it), use of facilities (e.g. climbing wall, drying rooms, free WiFi etc.) and tea and cakes when you get in each day. Non-residential options are available. Free pick up and drop off from Llandudno Train Station also available.
