Jez , As someone who gets anxious about testing I found this super informative and calming Thanks
Absolute pleasure!
I’m doing my MLS training in a couple of months, but I’ll will be coming to you for the assessment. Will book with you once I’ve completed the training.
Enjoy the training 💪
I’ve watched many of your videos across ML and RCI, they’re Absolutely fantastic and refreshed a lot of my knowledge as I’ve not done much in 10-15 years. So smashing a lot out this year. Some of your videos I watch over and over so that the information is absorbed. Keep them coming. Brilliant and very informative. Thanks.
Doing my training in March next year.. Great channel mate.. This opened my eyes / exited and scared me all at the same time.. Im so looking foward to this journey.
Enjoy 👌
Thank you soooo much - I have been watching your videos which have been so useful to me. I did my training many years ago and just want to finish the qualification. I've been bit reluctant to do the assessment but I am throwing myself in. I've recently done HML - which is enough to cover our school D of E terrain - as an interim and found it so stressful. You have made me feel much calmer - thank you!
Happy to have helped a little! Best of luck with it all :)
Another great vid Jez! Totally loved going through the ML process; enjoyed my training (thanks Jez) and found my Assessment challenging, exciting and enjoyable in equal measure. Definitely agree with your comments; just get out as much as possible and enjoy/LOVE the mountains. Going through the ML qual definitely gave me the confidence to go out on my long distance trails!
Cheers Simon! It really is a great scheme hey?!
Great video Jez. Brings back fond memories of my assessment. It's so easy to make it a bigger deal than it actually is.
Cheers!
Absolutely it is, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves at assessments don't we?!
thanks Jez - these videos that you've been putting up are fantastic!
Absolute pleasure!
Thanks for such a great video. I am doing my ML training in October, Fingers crossed, so I found this supper informative.
Glad you enjoyed it, enjoy your training!
Really enjoying these videos! Please keep them coming 💃
Glad you're enjoying them! Plenty more planned!
Wow getting ahead of myself watching this vid as I haven't done my training yet, cheers COVID for that one. Absolutely desperate to get my training done and you've really put my mind at ease regarding the assessment. Would love to get booked through you guys when we're finally allowed out again. Thanks so much for the info. Cannot wait :-)
Glad you liked it! Give us a shout any time if we can help 👊
Very nice videos! Well done! I am going to do the assessment in October in Llanberis! Keep doing videos as I really like them!
Good luck!!
great video ! have a great checklist of things I need to brush up on now!
You're a great teacher. Thank you.
thank you for this video, it has really helped me in understanding what goes on, I plan to do my assessment later this year
Absolute pleasure!
Its seems that the ML is a relaxed course but obviously at times it has too be serious I'm doing my training in may I'm really looking forward to it . I've been told just go out and enjoy it dont stress
Enjoy!
Great work Jez - really enjoying your videos, thanks for putting these up during the current crisis! Any thoughts on doing a simliar video for folks working towards their RCI assessment? Top tips, run-through of the assessment process, that sort of things. Maybe even a compilation of some of the rope skills you should be practiced on! Thanks again.
Mark Tennant definitely on the to do list!
Awesome vlog - really great overview
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Jez!
Thanks!
Thanks for the vids dude, should help me through my assessment this year...hopefully!
Absolute pleasure :)
Brilliant, this. Really useful.
Good to hear!
You mentioned geology in this video. How about that an a suggestion for a video - climbing geology for beginners? Right back to basics, what's an Arete, what's a pin scar, what's scree etc
THANK YOU!
Pleasure!
Awesome video. Thank you.
One quick question... a friend mentioned something about a 5 minute presentation. Is this a general thing across all assessments or is this a course specific one? Just dont believe you mentioned it in video. Perhaps it has been a recent addition as did notice video was 4years old.
Any info would be much appreciated. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Depends on the assessor. Personally I don’t ask for one, I just want people to bring stuff up as and when it’s relevant. I kind of think that’s more natural and appropriate.
Check with your assessor when you book 💪
Really helpful!!
Nice one!
Another great video - Thank you! I've just found your channel and watched about 4 in a row now! I don't have my training until October so trying to get ahead. One quick question about the assessment weekend if you don't mind helping me...You said the assessment can have up to 4 people. If there's less than 4, does that mean we do longer nav stints or do we just shorten the route accordingly? Many thanks.
Glad you liked it. Probably tend to a leg or two more each in reality I guess...
Thank you. Nice presentation : )
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is the ability to do a grade 1 scramble pretty much essential? I'm scared of heights and lots of the scrambles, whilst physically manageable, are really exposed and difficult for someone like me, even if can do all the other skills!
Good question. On training and assessment you will be on some steep ground which will include short sections of grade 1 ground. I certainly don’t expect superstar mountaineers or anything. If you can get up something like the N Ridge of Tryfan, by the easier lines, you’ll be cruising on an ML course.
Hi- quick question. How do you assess group management and leadership in the journey? What are you looking for?
Esspecailly if my group are my colleagues... will i just have to pretend they are less comfortable and less knowleddable in the mountains environment?
So I would just treat them as normal - a friend to a friend. So how do you then access leadership if that's the case?
Personally I don't roll play, I ask that people are treated as they are, but will only do something if told too, remembering that anyone can slip on anything, so playing the game a little and erring on the side of caution when it comes to spotting / shepherding, or getting the rope out.
That way we still get to see loads of decision making etc.
Hi Jez, I was wondering if it's also worth logging your training & assessment as QMD's. Will your ML training count towards the QMD's for assessment? My first instinct tells me it might be scraping the barrel a bit but I would wonder if the training days would meet the QMD criteria.
The training days don't count towards QMDs I'm afraid. It's because you're "under instruction".
A course report gets filled out, so you can still look back at what you've done during the course.
Than you im aiming to become ML i just done my training to CWI and now working on that what is the next would you suggest .
Hello, what would you say the pass rate is for ML assessment
I think it’s around 85%
What weight is your properly loaded rucksack on an ML assessment ?
Depends on the time of year but no more than 10kg
