WOODLANDER INSTRUCTORS AWARD- conversion course

The Instructors conversions course can be taken upon completion
 of THE WOODLANDER course only.
 
It is designed for those that are interested in now taking their personal skill set and transfering this knowledge into a proffesional teaching/and or instructional capacity.
 
We firmly believe that you cannot undertake an instructors course in just a matter of weeks, to be able to REALLY get the depths required to teach the skills we teach to the level that we do takes years of hard study and continual learning. By undertaking the WOODLANDER COURSE, the most comprehensive course available, you start to build that knowledge. You then convert it to the practicalities of providing instruction. The level and detail of both these courses combined gives you a certification that has had more hours of study than a degree!
 
The conversion course is held over five weekends running from 13:00 Friday through to 14:00pm Sunday upon conlusion to your WOODLANDER course.
 
Here, our senior instructors will work with you to discover the specifics of leading groups in the outdoors safely on your own bushcraft courses, or whilst working for another bushcraft company.
 
Each weekend consists of a number of outdoor modules that conclude with a practical assesment on you running a Real Bushcraft Weekend with Real customers, with our senior instructors there as your safety net.
 
Upon successful conclusion to the course you are awarded The Woodland Ways WOODLANDER INSTRUCTORS AWARD, and the WOODLANDER badge to wear with pride. From here you will be in a position to secure insurance to run your own programmes or prove to potential employers you have the skills base to teach to the highest level in Bushcraft.
