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.
