A guiding company... I won't name them.. says all leaders of IML or EA coaches..
OR..
So they are not qualified by usual standards. and consider this may well mean in France.. which if i have to explain the significance of that one I give up..
So Can UKA or English Athletics confirm whether the course they created is suitable? So we are now in a position where E/UKA quals are being used to commercially guide.. potentially in Europe..
Are the deliverers of such courses happy with this situation?
Do you feel EA coaches would be qualified to guide in alpine, winter or mountain situations?
Personally I think not.. but my view is if a fatality happens the inquiry will look for experts and I think we'll end up involved as one of the few ML qualified running guides. So for true transparency. Does a UKA coaching qualifications cover commercial activity?
No it may do.. just try and be as clear as possible..
I think it should be clarified what is going on. If not we are shutting the door after the horse has bolted. Personally I think its better ML's speak out now than later at an inquiry.
