The British Association of International Mountain Leaders ( BAIML ; German British International Association of Mountain Guides ) is a professional association for mountain guides in the UK and around the world. The group represents the British International Mountain Leaders (IMLs) who operate in the hills and mountains of their home country, the Alpine regions and beyond. Before November 2004, the recognized qualification was the European Mountain Leader Award (EML). After the Union of International Mountain Leader Associations (UIMLA) was founded in November 2004, the EMLs were recognized as International Mountain Leaders (IMLs) before November 2004 . As an association, BAIML now has over 600 members, most of whom have the full IML award. The qualification was the European Mountain Leader Award (EML).
Qualifications
The UK IMLs were rated for the skills required to lead hiking groups in the mountains. The IML Award is administered by Mountain Leader Training UK and is only valid if the IML is a member of a national association (such as BAIML) and has professional liability insurance.
history
The IML Award is a professional degree that has been recognized by the UIMLA since November 2004. Before 2004, the relevant qualification was the EML (European Mountain Leader Award), which has been recognized since 1993 by the former Commission Européenne des Accompagnateurs en Montagne (CEAM). CEAM (La Commission Européenne des Accompagnateurs en Montagne) - the European Mountain Guide Commission - agreed in 1992 on a recognized European standard that provides a framework for the countries that have signed up (Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) should form a recognized qualification of a hiking guide.
The first EML course took place in November 1992 at Plas y Brenin. 25 people attended and completed the combined training and assessment course to become the first EML Award holders. For the award to be recognized as a professional qualification, an association is required that offers insurance, a code of conduct and a variety of other services. The award is only valid through membership in this association. The first EML owners founded the British Association of European Mountain Leaders (BAEML) in 1993, with Dave Bursnall being elected first president.
