Hi! Our sister site, www.brightwoodtraining.com has lots more information on outdoor learning and training courses - so head over there when you're done!

Outdoor Learning for professionals: outdoor skills, Forest School taster days, group facilitation techniques, INSET, training days, train the trainer, team building and leadership development day for organisations and groups.  

Location:  Yours (UK wide) or ours: either a beautiful large heritage woodland on the Wiltshire / Berkshire / Oxfordshire borders; or a former school site with woodland.  

A popular option is to book me for a free consultation at your site, where I will give you ideas of how to embed Outdoor Learning / Forest School in your practice and give you ideas of how your site is best used for this.  Following this I can run a team building and Forest School / Outdoor Learning introduction day for your staff to ignite interest, spark ideas and inspire confidence in their ability to use outdoor learning regularly.  Your chosen staff can then attend certificated courses for Outdoor Learning or Forest School qualifications to ensure outdoor learning is led by knowledgable and qualified staff.  For continuous professional development I can lead workshops or staff can attend special subject days.
