People on this course should have previously registered for the SWMML training scheme and successfully completed the Moorland Walking Leader Assessment or hold the Walking Group Leader Award.

This is a 3 day training course which may incorporate an assessment, provided you have appropriate previous experience.

There are two options:

• To use this as a training course only or
• To complete both training and assessment within the 3 days, subject to prior experience.

Experience prior to the camping assessment should be equivalent to the Moorland Walking Leader and, in addition, should include:

• Camping experience of at least eight overnight expeditions. This experience should include multi-night camps and the use of stoves.
• A further 14 days of mountain or moorland experience.
• Experience of camping in poor weather conditions.
• Experience of leading or co-leading groups, perhaps in less demanding areas.
• Experience of more than one mountain or moorland area in the UK.
