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.

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. It is ideal for people who work within schools and youth groups, and those who are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

This Lowland Leader Course is a 16-hour practical assessment of your pre-existing knowledge and skill. Unless exempt due to having attended a Hill and Moorland or Mountain Leader Training Course you must have attended a Lowland Leader Training Course to participate.
