Testimonials for our Forest School Activities Online Training
The videos are very accessible, the information presentation is ideal. I thoroughly recommend the course and would advise anybody that gets the opportunity to go for it, and the lifetime access is brilliant.
I love the easy to follow structure of the course and found that all the videos make learning and revising particularly easy to follow.
The course was truly transformative and provided an exceptional blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, equipping me with the skills to confidently lead outdoor learning sessions. I now feel empowered to create engaging and meaningful outdoor learning experiences that inspire curiosity, resilience, and a love for the natural world.
This course is a fantastic resource and I highly recommend it to anyone who practices in outdoor environments, and also for those who would like to lead groups in the outdoors in the future.
It's absolutely jam packed with everything you need - lesson plans, activities, videos, explanations, and even goes into into depth about the wellbeing benefits for mental health, which I find absolutely amazing.
