Fantastic 6 days of training with Rob and Mike. First 4 were with Rob who showed and explained so much. Kind and patient and great knowledge. Last 2 were with Mike who had incredible knowledge and drive and I could feel him wanting the best for us while giving us a much needed push. Couldn’t recommend them more!

A comprehensive and hugely enjoyable course. Great for anyone wishing to take their mountain leader skills to the next level whether or not you end up doing the assessment. Rob is a great teacher and Snowdonia is a great place to be outdoors.

The mountain leader training was exceptionally well run. Rob is highly knowledgeable and experienced, and also a patient and good humoured teacher. I honestly can't fault the week and I learned much more than I expected.

Had an excellent couple of days with Rob on the advanced scrambling course. He was really friendly and his knowledge of the area / routes and ropes was brilliant. He helped me and my sister complete our first grade 3 scramble ( with plenty of exposure 😃) the routes were stunning! Most importantly I always felt incredibly safe on the rock with Rob. Defo would book with him again - highly recommended Ian

Invaluable Preparation for the Mountain Leader Assessment ​I recently completed a Mountain Leader refresher course with Rob before taking my ML assessment, and it was an invaluable experience from start to finish. ​Day one focused heavily on group management and practical leadership techniques, specifically showing us how to effectively demonstrate the knowledge we already had when leading different types of groups. It was extremely informative, hands-on, and directly relevant to both the upcoming assessment and future ML work. Rob’s coaching style was fantastic—he instinctively built our confidence while helping us polish our delivery, backing everything up with clear, constructive feedback. ​Day two delivered classic wet and windy Welsh conditions. Finding safe, suitable terrain to teach and demonstrate steep ground and rope work in that weather was a challenge, but Rob’s extensive knowledge of the local area meant he always knew the perfect spots. Rope work wasn't our strongest discipline starting out, but under Rob’s expert guidance, our confidence grew rapidly. His feedback gave us a clear, actionable list of "homework" to polish our skills before assessment day. ​If you are preparing for your ML assessment or looking to sharpen your mountain leadership skills, I cannot recommend training with Rob highly enough. Hes also a decent and interesting chap to spend time with, which helps enormously.
