Our courses

If you love working in the great outdoors, meeting new people and leading a team, a career in outdoor adventure could be perfect for you. Our courses will give you the theory and practical experience for a rewarding role that could see you working anywhere in the world.

Our courses are delivered through a mix of classroom sessions and off-site practical days. Three days of your week will be spent in the classroom, where you’ll explore the theory underpinning outdoor adventure. Then you’ll be off-site for the rest of the week, seeing the theory come to life as you take part in practical activities. With so many adventure centres in the local area, you’ll be out sailing, paddle boarding, mountain biking, orienteering, climbing and much more.
