 TCL stands for Trail Cycle Leader, MBL stands for Mountain Bike Leader. The TCL is the most basic qualification, the MBL is a stage above it, and is one of the most highly recognized guiding qualifications in the world.

They're both operated and regulated by the SMBLA (Scottish Mountain Bike Leader Association)

I'm SMBLA qualified, and working for t2r this season Smile
