Gain the confidence to explore the hills with the Mountain Training Hill Skills Course. This course is not a formal leadership qualification but provides a solid foundation for further development. It's a fantastic stepping stone towards the Hill and Moorland Leader Award or simply a great way to enhance your enjoyment of the hills.

We'll cover key safety considerations, including how to deal with emergencies and make sound decisions in the hills. With a focus on practical learning, you'll spend time out on the fells, putting your new skills into practice and building your confidence in a supportive environment.
