Professional Qualifications
Climbing and mountaineering in the UK
The Association of Mountaineering Instructors is the representative body for professional instructors who have undergone rigorous training and assessment to qualify under Mountain Leader Training UK (MLTUK) guidelines
The Union of International Mountain Leaders is the International body representing holders of the IML. This qualification lets the holder lead groups in different mountains all over the world, where the skills of alpinism are not required. IMLs can work with groups on high altitude treks as well as leading groups on snow shoes. IML’s, from every member country, have to maintain International Continuing Professional Development (ICPD) to ensure that members are kept up-to-date with the latest developments in mountain leadership.
The British Association of International Mountain Leaders is the Professional Organisation representing and overseeing British holders of the IML award
The Mountain Leader Training Association is the body for holders of all levels of awards under the MLTUK scheme
This logo means that I am an approved provider of National Governing Body awards under Mountain Leader Training Scotland

Expeditions and Overseas Climbing
and Mountaineering Trips
Expeditions are my abiding passion. Since growing
up in various countries around the world I've
loved travelling and it was only natural to take my
climbing abroad too. There is nothing more special
to me than to be climbing and mountaineering
somewhere where there is no guidebook, or even
a map, to be somewhere few if any other people
have been.
Just hold your mouse over a year to see details of
that trip.
