Booking Form Level 3

Forest School Leader Training

Thank you for your interest in training with us to become a Forest School Leader. Before making your booking we strongly recommend that you research the forest School philosophy and understand the approach to ensure it fits with your current situation. There are numerous different types of Outdoor Learning of which Forest School is just one. Before making your booking we recommend the following:

Making a visit to an existing Forest School programme & talking to trained Forest School Leaders

Reading about the Forest School Principles and common misconceptions about it

Watch the Video below explaining about the ethos.

To undertake the Level 3 course you are required to have the following:

Be at least 21 years old

At least 2 years experience of leading groups &/or a minimum of a level 2 qualification in a relevant topic (education, youth work, playwork, psychology)

A current DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check

Appropriate 1st Aid training (a minimum of 16 hour, outdoor 1st aid appropriate for the age group you are working with) - this is needed before you start your introductory Forest School programme.

Access to a group (this can be any age group) and a natural space to run the introductory Forest School programme at. This happens after the training modules so there is time during the course to make arrangements.

Please ensure you have read our Terms and Conditions and contact us if you have any questions before making your booking.

6. I will ensure I have a pair of safety boots to wear for practical activities in Module 3, 4 & 5.

7. I understand that if my introductory Forest School Programme is outside of a 30 mile radius from the training venue, this will inccur an additional charge for the delivery assessment of £75 plus 45p per mile.
