STAFF ACCREDITED TRAINING

The training course ‘Facilitation Skills for Experiential Learning’ focuses on how to pitch and shape the learning to achieve desired outcomes. Practical, engaging and fun – this 6hr course is certified CPD by the Institute for Outdoor Learning. Trainees will be assessed throughout the process and will then be qualified to facilitate activities from the resource.

LEARNER ACCREDITED TRAINING

We have also developed a qualification for learners. ‘Personal Potential’ is a Level 1 qualification enabling learners to recognise when and how ‘stretch and challenge’ occurs, this is when learning happens. Linked to the AQR MTQ48 measure we can develop the socio- emotional awareness that builds up Mental Toughness and Learning Intelligence.
