SUMMER MOUNTAIN LEADER TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT COURSES.

For 2010 we are increasing the number of Summer Mountain Leader Training and Assessment course dates that we offer, all run under the direction of one of the UK's foremost Course Directors.

COURSES APPROVED BY MOUNTAIN LEADER TRAINING SCOTLAND

Before attending a Summer ML Training Course, potential candidates must register with one of the home nation Mountain Leader Training Boards. In Scotland this would usually be Mountain Leader Training Scotland (MLTS, tel: 01479 861248). However, you may register, or be registered, with another UK Board if you so wish and still attend an ML training or assessment course with us in Scotland.

Please remember, if you have any questions about a Summer ML training or assessment course, feel free to either email us or give us a call on 01340 871071. We'll be very happy to help.

The location for this years courses is the comfortable Ardenbeg Bunkhouse, situated in the centre of Grantown On Spey, which is well serviced with the usual amenities. Easy to access, only a few minutes from the A9 and not far from the main railway line from the south at Aviemore, Grantown offers access to excellent terrain for both training and assessment. A B+B option is also available.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ADDITION TO THE DATES GIVEN BELOW WE ARE ABLE TO RUN ML TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT COURSES AT VENUES AND DATES TO SUIT YOUR REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS IDEAL FOR CLUBS, CENTRES, COLLEGES ETC, AND ONLY REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF FOUR CANDIDATES. PLEASE CONTACT PETE DIRECT FOR DETAILS.
