We will consider extremely strong applicants who do not hold an ML. Please send us your CV with details of:

  1. Qualifications

  2. Personal expedition/trekking experience

  3. Leadership of expedition groups

  4. Experience assisting with or delivering CLA or similar

  5. Anything else that strengthens your application

You must provide evidence of all these things — without this evidence it is extremely unlikely that your application will be approved. We meet twice-yearly and will respond after our next meeting.
