About the event

Our current course Thursday 22 February 2024 - Friday 27 September 2024 is fully booked. 

Future course dates will be published here when scheduled in.

Stepping into the woods with us will be a step forward on your personal journey to discover more about how you can work with learners in an inspiring environment. We will initially spend 6 days in the woods (3 blocks of 2 days) building a community of learning, where we will explore the forest school ethos, different ways of learning, woodland ecology and develop personal practical skills such as fire lighting and using things found in the woods to problem-solve and create.  Our trainers will then support you in learning by doing, as you facilitate your own forest school programme, including in-person support in your setting. You will then regroup with your fellow trainees to share your learning from your programme, and trainers will assess your practical skills at 2 skills assessment days. The remaining assessment will be through completion of a portfolio of evidence.

The course runs from 9.30am to 4pm daily.

For further information about the course, and to help you decide if this is the right option for you and your setting, please download our Forest School Training Guide. We can also arrange for you to have a chat with one of our Forest School trainers who will be able to advise you about whether this is the right course for you.
