Welcome to Mountain Leader Training

MLT is the co-ordinating body for all the mountain training schemes in the UK, overseeing the training and assessment of around six thousand leaders and instructors.

MLT is directly responsible for the Mountaineering Instructor Award (summer),Mountaineering Instructor Certificate and International Mountain Leader Awards and works closely with four home nation boards: (MLTE, MLTNI, MLTS and MLTW) and the Association of British Mountain Guides (BMG), who are responsible for the other awards. Additionally MLT has direct links with the mountaineering councils (BMC, MCI and MC of S), enabling the training schemes to support the needs of the sport as a whole. Mountain Leader Training is evolving into a simpler umbrella structure: the Home Nations will continue to service the awards and interface with providers but it will be a much simpler organisation for registrants and award holders to deal with.

MLT also represents the UK internationally in matters related to mountain training, and works to secure national and international recognition of the awards.
