The Advanced Certificate in Forest School & Outdoor Learning
No other online training provides this level of depth in Forest School and Outdoor Learning.
The Outdoor Teacher’s most comprehensive training, bringing together Marina Robb’s 30 + years of experience in Forest School and Outdoor Learning into one in-depth online programme.
The course follows the natural cycle of the year through 8 seasonal modules – simply start with the season you’re in. Each module includes practical activities, videos, adaptable session plans and downloadable resources, plus two in-depth masterclasses exploring essential areas of practice such as behaviour and mental health, deep nature connection, risk-benefit assessment and best practice.
These masterclasses help you develop a deeper understanding of the theory, principles and thinking behind what you do – as well as how to do it.
With 120 instructional videos created specifically for the Advanced Certificate, 16 masterclasses and 48 seasonal session plans, you’ll have an extensive library of learning and practical resources that will last you for years. The video content is different from, rather than a repeat of, the practical content in our Forest School Activities course.

Jenny Flude
I work in a primary school running Forest School and outdoor learning sessions from reception all the way up to year six, and I'm really enjoying this course. I'm finding the masterclasses brilliant, really informative, providing information and embedding theories that you may have come across already in your training. I feel that it's given me a bit of 'oomph' as a practitioner, and making me connect with the sort of practitioner that I'd like to be. The activity suggestions are fantastic alongside the session plans that give ways of extending each activity with further ideas and links to the curriculum. It's brilliant!
