Mountain Leader Award (MLA) or Walking Group Leader (WGL)?
MLA involves wild camping, movement on steep ground and some rope work whereas WGL does not involve steep or rocky terrain and includes valley camps and the overnight experience. WGL assessment candidates have to navigate with the same accuracy as on ML, but over ‘moorland’ terrain. WGL terrain is well defined by obvious boundaries, such as roads and coastlines and any hazards within it are identifiable and avoidable.

You must be a member of the BMC and register with your national association before joining any course.
