BRITISH CAVING ASSOCIATION TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT COURSES
Bench mark qualifications for people leading novice groups in a professional capacity underground. The scheme is also very useful for volunteers wishing to acquire and demonstrate to authorities they have been independently assessed as competent to lead novices underground. The main considerations of the scheme are equally the safety of the group and the conservation and understanding of a fragile environment.
The LCMLA is not a basic or introductory caving course, but training and assessment courses designed to teach participants already experienced with the underground the specialist skills in leading others.
