Award Description

The Hill and Moorland Leader award is designed for people who want to lead groups in the hill and moorland areas of the UK and Ireland. This award is a wonderful opportunity to learn the leadership skills required to feel confident about taking people out walking. As you may have guessed from the descriptive title of this award, it focuses on non-mountainous terrain.

Adventure Expertise are a small team of mountaineering and climbing instructors who are passionate about the courses we deliver and committed to setting the standards for training and assessment courses. Inspiring others and giving our clients the skills to independently make the most out of the mountains is what drives us.

We're proud of our reputation for providing great courses and looking after people in a relaxed and professional way. Many people on our courses come by recommendation which is something we're really grateful for and proud of - it's the acid test of us delivering what we aim for! If you don't know us and want to find out more please give us a call or email us to query anything.   

Assessments for us are all about setting an atmosphere in which everyone feels welcome and able to perform at their best with the minimum of stress. We know assessments are a challenge - we've been there! so we work hard to ensure you get the best out of yourself when it matters, making the assessment experience as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.
