How do I know that the person advertising is a genuine IML?

An International Mountain Leader (IML) will have completed all their training and assessment courses. The Union of International Mountain Leader Associations (UIMLA) requires that a practising IML is a member of a National Association (such as BAIML) and that they hold professional indemnity insurance. BAIML issues the UIMLA Carnet, which is a credit-card style professional document with a photograph , a unique identifying number, and an annual validating stamp which certifies that the IML is a current member and that they have insurance. Only current Full and Aspirant members of BAIML are listed on this website.

Aspirant members may lead groups in the UK, within the remit of their existing qualifications, but may only work abroad if supervised by a Full IML or IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide.

You can check if the person is a Full or Aspirant British IML by contacting the BAIML membership offices at MLTUK on +44(0) 1690 720272 or email us here.

Participation Statement

BAIML recognises that mountaineering is an activity with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement. Hiring a professionally qualified leader does not prevent accidents from happening.
