Lowland Leader Award
Lowland Leader Overview
We are an approved provider for Mountain Training's Lowland Leader Award. This is a nationally recognised leadership qualification, administered by Mountain Training and allows holders of the award to lead groups on day walks in countryside and woodland in summer conditions. The majority of the UK and Ireland is made up of this type of terrain so you'll never be short of places to go walking.
​
The Lowland Leader scheme is perfect for anyone who would like to lead groups in the countryside and teachers supervising dofe.
​
Lowland Leader Training Course
Our Lowland Leader training courses are highly informative but also fun and run in a friendly manner. The two day training course is run in The Chilterns and we look at the wide variety of skills needed to lead fun days out in Lowland terrain.
​
Day 1 we meet in Tring and Day 2 we meet in Berkhamsted. Both courses are easily accessible by train.
​
At the end of the course you will have the opportunity to receive detailed individual feedback on your strengths and any areas that you may need to improve on. This is done together with generating an action plan and identifying a realistic timetable to assessment. You are also provided with a post course information pack full of all the information you need to get ready for assessment.
