NEW Forest School Modular Training

Forest School Training sawing wood

From September 2012, in conjunction with the Forest School Training Company (External Website), we will be delivering a new modular format which offers students a different approach to attaining a forest school certificate.  Each module progresses on from the previous one, thereby allowing students to choose to get the Level 2 Assistant or Level 3 Leader award. Level 2 students can top up at a later date when they are ready to progress to the higher levels of training.  The new modular format results in the same qualification and the same standard of training.

The training will take place over a number of sequential 2-day training modules, which should be easier for those who work in schools to get time off for training.  In addition, the coursework requirement is split across the modules thereby removing the need to compile a single large portfolio at the end of the training.  Each module has a number of workbooks requiring short written answers to be completed.  This should ensure that students are able to complete their course whilst they are progressing through the training modules. 

The modular course still incorporates assessment of practical skills as well as the crucial leadership assessment where we assess students delivering forest school in their own setting.

Accreditation

All of our Forest School training courses are accredited through the Open College Network West Midlands Region (OCNWMR).
