During the course you will either develop your existing skills or learn how to surf, lead climb, navigate, paddle a range of craft as well as develop an understanding of how to deliver and facilitate outdoor education activities alongside traditional centre based sessions. 

The course will be delivered by experienced instructors who have worked in different sectors of the outdoor industry and each participant will have a dedicated mentor who will assist them during the programme, work on goal setting and monitor their progress to ensure everyone meets their full potential!

Exploration

Whilst the majority of the programme will be based at our HQ in St Davids, we’ll explore throughout the Pembrokeshire National Park and we also have lots of adventures planned on expeditions to various of the other National Parks in order to hone your skills in different areas!

This nationwide experience will allow you to explore new areas of the UK that you may not have had the chance to visit previously and will also be important to build your log books prior to attending assessments for some of the qualifications.
