Level 3 Certificate in Leading Forest School
This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to lead a Forest School programme in your setting, so your learners can benefit from this approach to learning in nature. The course delivery consists of 8 days face-to-face initial training, which includes both theory and practical elements (some classroom time, and lots of practical sessions in the woods). You will then complete a learning portfolio, and run a trial Forest School programme in your own setting, with tutor support. The ninth training day is a tutorial day: you need to be able to attend all nine face-to-face days. If you work in a school or other setting, be sure that you have the support of your managers before undertaking this course.
