ML Navigation & Setting the Standard
Pathway: Leadership
A focused Mountain Leader navigation workshop designed to show candidates what good assessment-standard navigation looks like in practice.
Leadership
A focused reassessment of the elements identified in your Mountain Leader assessment report.
From £250 per person
Mountain Leader Reassessment is for candidates who received a defer result and need to be reassessed in specific syllabus areas. The content and duration are not generic: they are agreed after reviewing your assessment report and the evidence required by Mountain Training. We will explain what the reassessment will cover, what you need to bring and how the day will run. Reassessment remains an assessment rather than a coaching session, so any preparation should take place beforehand.
Based in the Lake District. We choose the exact venue around conditions and the skills being practised.
Arranged around your reassessment report.
You must have a deferral report identifying the areas for reassessment and have completed the required further practice. Share the report and your updated DLOG before arranging dates; current scheme requirements still apply.
Weatherproof clothing, warm layers, food, drinks and personal medication. Walking boots or appropriate mountain footwear, a day pack, map, compass and headtorch. Bring personal ropework equipment if owned; we will confirm the list for the planned terrain and tasks.
Maps and compasses can be provided, but we recommend bringing your own. We will tell you which map you need and recommend a Silva Expedition 4 compass.
The exact plan may adapt to weather, venue conditions and the group's experience. The stages below describe the intended focus.
From £250, subject to the reassessment scope. Contact us with your report to agree arrangements.
Send your assessment report and preferred dates. We will confirm the scope, duration and price before arranging your reassessment.
