Forest school leader and assistant training

Led by Maria Sprostranova, founder of GreenWise People, the training is Ofqual regulated, internationally recognised and valid for life. It is equivalent to a BTEC - the awarding body is ITC First.

The programme will explain the potential of woodlands and the outdoors for child learning and development. It will explore ways to plan outdoor projects, sessions and activities, and discover methods to teach and facilitate the development of practical skills, including fire making, knots, cooking on an open fire and more. Whether you are considering a career change or simply wish to take your facilitation outdoors, this training is for all.
