The official video about the Mountain Leader scheme. This is the original outdoor leadership qualification from Mountain Training which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2014.

What sort of career doors can the Mountain Leader qualification open up for a person?

The Mountain Leader award allows you to gain work as a freelance Mountain Leader for a range of outdoor companies or centres in the UK, and is a required qualification before you can progress to higher mountaineering awards, such as the International Mountain Leader Award, the Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor qualification, and the Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor qualification. The work could involve, for example, leading groups in the UK mountains in summer conditions, teaching navigation skills or instructing & supervising Duke of Edinburgh Award candidates.
