The value of outdoor learning opportunities for children and young people is undisputed...
We, the Forest School Training Company, deliver accredited Forest School training and Professional Development to the highest standards.
We train professionals such as teachers, Early Years practitioners, Countryside and Education Rangers, youth-workers and policy advisors.
We are one of the foremost suppliers of quality Forest School training throughout England, Scotland and Wales and work with organisations such as The Forestry Commission, Forest Education Initiative, Local Education Authorities and Wildlife Trusts.
Forest School is being increasingly recognised as a professional and creative approach to safe and effective outdoor learning.
The benefits of a Forest School approach to learning outside the classroom include:
Increased self-esteem and self-confidence
Improved social skills
The development of language and communication skills
Improved physical motor skills
Improved motivation and concentration
Increased knowledge and understanding of the environment
We run a number of different levels of Forest School training, ranging from an introduction to the concept of Forest School (level 1) through to assisting at Forest school (level 2) and becoming a Forest School leader (level 3). More on Levels of training .....
