Lowland Leader Training
We are actively exploring pathways with both Mountain Training and the Leadership Skills Foundation to deliver nationally recognised leadership courses. These partnerships are currently in development, and we are committed to selecting the most suitable route to provide high-quality training for our participants and partners.
These courses are designed for school staff, youth group leaders, and outdoor enthusiasts who want to build confidence and competence in leading groups in lowland terrain. Our aim is to support individuals in gaining the skills and qualifications needed to lead safe, inclusive, and inspiring outdoor experiences.
Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for:
- Teachers and school staff involved in outdoor education
- Youth group leaders (e.g., Scouts, Guides, DofE)
- Freelancers in the outdoor, health, and fitness sectors looking to expand their portfolio
