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

Testimonials 2008

Alan, thanks for a brilliant weekend and sticking with us through a cold and wet day
on Saturday Definitely learnt a lot and had a really good weekend at the same
time. I forgot to say that the highlight of the two days was seeing the smallest
violin in the world. Best wishes to you and your family.

Katie Self Rescue Oct 2008

'Thanks for looking after me at the weekend and for keeping me safe on the ridge.
Despite the weather, I really enjoyed the experience and was good fun catching
up. I hope we can arrange something for earlier in the season next year'

Kevin Cuillin scramble Sept 2008

'Hi Alan - just a quick email to say I received the disk with pics of Ben Nevis (in and
out of cloud!) that you sent - thanks very much. Rowena and I had a great time
and I came home full of the delights of Scotland - I think we will probably be back
for a family holiday soonish. Thanks very much to you for a very memorable day.'

Bella and Rowena Tower Ridge Sept 2008

'Mark and I both feel that the time spent with you has been invaluable both from a
technical standpoint and for my head space. The photo's on your blog are great
and I will remember Ardnamurchan as the best day on trad gear I've had. Perhaps
we have now been spoiled on Gabbro and everything else will seem second
best!!!'

Joe and Mitali Ledge Route Aug 2008

 'It really was a cracking week and (you are) very easy going and pleasant to

from you. Hopefully we can get out on the hills in the future.'

route route.'
