To attend a summer ML training you should be a committed hill walker with 12 months or twenty Quality Mountain Days (QMD's) experience. Check the link for detailed prospectus.
For ML assessment you need a minimum of 40 QMD's in three areas of the UK , 8 nights camping, at least 4 of which should be high mountain wild camping and a current 16 hr 1st Aid Certificate. Check the link for detailed prospectus.
Our courses are Pitlochry based which provides a perfect choice of venues and helps us keep our mileage down during the week. Training course size is kept to 6 trainees so I would normally work with you. Assessment courses have a maximum of 8 candidates and 2 assessors.
Pitlochry has a wide range of accommodation - we recommend the Pitlochry SYHA which is a well equipped and comfortable hostel within walking distance of coach and rail routes plus shops and the very popular Moulin Inn.
You can choose accommodation to suit your budget.
