ML Assessment course desciption
MLTE approved Summer Mountain Leader Assessment Course
Why do your ML Assessment with Climb365
We base our courses in the heart of the Lake district fells and aim to spend
as much time as possible on the mountains rather than in a classroom.
We see the assessment process as a continuous one where there is scope for
learning and readjustment of ideas while being assessed.
We aim to give you as many opportunities as possible to showcase your skills
and believe strongly in leaving space within the assessment process to show
improvement in skill level. We hope that you will leave the assessment having
improved your mountain leadership skills and having learnt and built upon
your skills.
All our staff are highly qualified (MIC or MIA) and have many years experience of ML courses as well as working with groups of young people in the outdoors.
The course will cover the Assessment syllabus of the Mountain Walking Leader scheme, and is MLTE recognised and approved.
We run assessment courses with a 3 day 2 night expedition to include 2 night navigation exercises.
There will be practical, discussion based or lecture sessions in the evenings and a home paper to be completed before attending the course.
The courses will start at 9.00 a.m on the first day and finish at tea time (around 4 pm) on the last day.
Accommodation is self catering.
For this course you must be registered with the MLTE (or MLTW or MLTS),
and fulfil the experience requirements between training and assessment.
You must also have a valid first aid certificate.
