After many years of successfully delivering the level 3 Forest School Practitioner training, we have devised a mew modular format which results in the same qualification and standard of training but will offer students a different approach to completing the 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. 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. 

 

We have a Facebook Page now - you can search on FB for The Forest School Training Company  

A hardy group of UK Forest School Leaders spent a week in beautiful Swedish woodland and each made themselves a fabulous bush knife and hand-stitched leather sheath. In addition they were visited by a lecturer in 'outdoor pedagogy' from a Swedish university (plus the local media!) and got to visit an inspiring Forest School Sweden-style on their final day. 

We will be putting dates together for more of these in the future. 

Over the past three years FSTC has been involved in supporting the Neroche project in Somerset through provision of Forest School training at levels 2 and 3. An extract from their new DVD (funded through the Forest Education Initiative) is available to view here.
