This course is designed to support individuals who lead on outdoor education and off-site activities. The course is delivered in two parts: Part 1 involves theory behind the planning and delivery of a successful off-site activity and the role of the Visit Leader; Part-2 involves a mock off-site visit, where the group puts the theory into practice, running through different scenarios during this stage of the course. The course is preferably delivered to school groups and can be delivered as twilight sessions. Please contact the OEA mailbox quoted below for more details.
