Course Info
If it’s been a while since your Mountain Leader training, you’d like to refresh your skills, or you’ve been granted an exemption from a training course, our Mountain Leader Refresher Course is ideal. It’s also perfect for those who have completed the award but want to update their knowledge after a few seasons off.
Our two-day Mountain Leader Refresher Course is an immersive, supportive experience designed to help you refresh and improve the specific areas of the syllabus you need to succeed at assessment. While the content is tailored to the group, the first day typically focuses on micro navigation and steep ground skills, while day two emphasizes rope techniques, with a morning of practical skills followed by realistic scenarios that integrate everything you’ve learned.
At the end of the course, you’ll receive honest, constructive feedback highlighting areas for improvement, helping you build confidence and work towards a positive outcome at assessment.
