It is acceptable for TCL/level 2 holders to attend an Expedition module being run in terrain that is out of scope of TCL/level 2. However, the operations
of qualified TCL/level 2 + Expedition Leader are restricted to TCL/level 2 terrain. Tutors will carefully screen participants on Expedition modules to ensure that participants can cope with the physical and technical demands of the chosen terrain. (Some TCL/level 2 holders can cope with long gruelling cycles and some cannot.) The type and choice of terrain and the physical and technical abilities required will be carefully explained to candidates before enrolment. (MBLA criteria)
