Forest School and Outdoor Learning Training for Educators
Develop the knowledge, skills and qualifications you need to deliver best practice nature-led educational programmes.
What is the difference between Forest School and Outdoor Learning?
Forest School training
Follows a Scandinavian approach to early learning. Here, children use woodland and other natural environments to develop a healthy engagement with risk, problem-solving and self-discovery. Led by qualified leaders, Forest School sessions take place regularly and throughout the year.
Our Forest School Level 3 training courses are endorsed by the Forest School Association.
