In many countries, the title of "Guide" isn't protected by law.

But just because something isn't against the law, does it make it the right thing to do? Companies and individuals use synonyms and marketing speak to disguise the lack of professional qualifications. In our book, that's not being transparent.

You should know who is leading you, what their qualifications are and what their remit is.

Genuine professionals will be delighted you asked.

Any questions, pop them in the comments. Happy to help clarify.

Glossary:
Remit means the terrain they're qualified to operate in. Someone on a training pathway may work under the guidance of a higher award holder. Higher award holders are often able to access additional certified training "bolt ons".
IML = International Mountain Leader
UIMLA = Union of International Mountain Leaders Association
MCI = Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor
IFMGA = International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (for Mountaineering in the Alps & Himalayas)
