I recently completed both my Hill and Moorland Leader training and assessment with Beyond the Edge, and the experience from start to finish was outstanding. Assessments can easily feel daunting, but out on the open moorland of the Peak District, James created an exceptionally supportive, calm, and encouraging environment right from the outset. His depth of knowledge is remarkable, and the balance struck between fine-tuning technical hard skills (such as complex moorland navigation, relocation strategies, and steep ground management) and developing crucial soft skills (group leadership, decision-making, and incident management) was spot on. Even under assessment conditions, the learning never stopped. James is wonderfully approachable and friendly; I felt completely comfortable being candid whenever I was unsure of an answer, and he consistently used those moments as constructive opportunities to build confidence and hone practical technique. Having clear, constructive, and thorough feedback at the end of each day was invaluable. It removed the usual assessment anxiety, clearly outlined where things stood, and reinforced key learning points going into the next day. The overall organisation and communication from Beyond the Edge were seamless throughout. For anyone looking for high quality Mountain Training courses delivered with professionalism, genuine warmth, and a dedication to making you a better leader, I cannot recommend Beyond the Edge and James highly enough.Posted on Google

Tom Longshaw1 November 2026This is my fourth time doing a course with BtE having done my Outdoor First Aid, Camp Leader, and Hill and Moorland Leader Training. There's a reason why everyone in my HML assessment group has been here before - BtE are that good. I hope to return soon to start the Training for Mountain Leader!Posted on Google

Beth Edwards21 October 2026What an exceptional day. James and Charlie were brilliant. We were a large family group and they tailored the whole day to meet our needs, with great knowledge and experience, bringing such fun along the way. Enjoyed by multi generations from my 7 year old daughter to her active grandparents who watched on. Thank you both, what a day.Posted on Google
Gemma Scougal5 October 2026Chris has a wealth of knowledge and experience which he shares in a fun, relaxed and easy to understand way. I would definately recommend his courses. I had a fantastic day out learning about not only the red deer and the dilemas a fungi identification but conservation issues and some great facts about trees.Posted on Google
Joe Parkinson4 October 2026Alex was great! He was very encouraging and felt much calmer as the day went on after being nervous at first. Highly recommend!Posted on Google
zygasas1621 September 2026Top team really! Completed my RCI training with Alex and Chris. Learned a ton. Completed my RCI assessment with Alex, learned even more. Then came back for outdoor first aid refresher with Chris and had an opportunity to learn from a real mountain rescuer who had a wealth of real life experience and knowledge. 10/10Posted on Google
Simon Lawrence20 September 2026I completed a two day Hill Skills course with Alex leading and Nigel assisting. There were seven of us with a range of experience and confidence. Alex and Nigel set a lovely tone with it being friendly, relaxed, interesting, and encouraging. We spent a couple of hours both mornings familiarising ourselves with the equipment and testing it out. Then went for a walk that utilised and challenged those skills. Everyone was really friendly and helpful throughout. If you don't know what taking a bearing is, an OS reference, how (or why) to use an emergency shelter, or pacing is, or know the difference between a path or a right of way on a map, then this course is for you. I just completed a two day Lowland Leader training course and used all of the skills from the Hill Skills on it!Posted on Google
Ollie Russell13 September 2026I recently attended a NNAS silver award. The course was well organised from pre-course contact right through the two days. Claire who instructed the course was friendly, informative, and made sure I maximised my learning and experience for the weekend. Alex also instructed the second day and was equally great. I'd have no hesitation in attending another course with Beyond the edge and recommending them to others.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
