Mountain Leader Award (ML)
Blue Peris is one of the larger providers of Summer Mountain Leader training and assessment courses within the UK; it is not something we do on an ad hoc basis.
Our centre is superbly situated in the heart of Snowdonia overlooking Snowdon itself and the village of Llanberis. This wonderful and inspiring location allows us easy access to all the major mountain ranges of North Wales - where better to undertake your ML Training or assessment course?
We have been approved by Mountain Training England (MTE) and Mountain Training Wales/Cymru (MTW) for the delivery of these courses.
Our course ethos is to offer a personal, friendly, and relaxing learning/assessment environment, with an up to date and exciting course programme.
Staff
Our staff are at the heart of what we deliver and this is one of the key strengths of a course at Blue Peris. They are all very enthusiastic, passionate, highly qualified, and experienced in the delivery of the ML Award, they are also very experienced in working with groups throughout the UK, Europe and further a field.
" My name is Andy Coopland. I live in Nepal and returned to the U.K. last year to complete my Q.M.D’s / ML Training and Assessment at Blue Peris – all in about 10 weeks. It’s now been about 11 months since I did my training with Blue Peris. I took the Assessment 2 weeks after that and passed.
It was obvious on the Assessment that Blue Peris is a top institution where all the skills needed to lead groups safely and responsibly are taught to a very high standard.
You have a great team and I have recommended Blue Peris to many people and companies I have had contact with. Thanks for all your help. "

Fast Track ML
Summer ML Training for those who hold the WGL Award
If you have passed your WGL, then why not take advantage of our shortened and cheaper fast track course. This course is 4 days in duration, instead of the normal 6 days. We can achieve this, by taking advantage of your prior learning contained within your WGL. We recap on all aspects of the generic skills found within the WGL and focus on the additional skills in greater depth. At the end of the 4 days you will be converse with the summer ML Award. This course has been endorsed by MTE.
