To help you answer the question,
What do the ‘Suitable for‘ descriptors actually mean?
To help you decide which courses are suitable for your level of experience we have included a list of experience levels or ‘Suitable for’ guides.
This is found at the bottom of the course description and the Course Info tab on each course page.
