training, cpd + conferences
Our high quality, active and immersive training and professional development - much of which takes place out of doors - is an excellent way to kick start outdoor learning and play, or take your own learning to a deeper, richer level.
We offer a selection of 'off the shelf' training courses, which can be delivered as twilights or full day sessions, and we would be delighted to provide lively, expert keynote speakers or workshop facilitators for your conferences and events.
Our tailored CPD programmes are developed in partnership with you, the client, to ensure the time you're investing in training is rewarded with sustainable outcomes. Please do ask about our longer term bespoke 'action learning' programmes, which offer face to face and remote support for up to a year, for cohorts of teachers and practitioners wishing to explore outdoor learning or play in greater depth and with a learning cohort.
​
We pride ourselves on delivering focused, purposeful training that will enable participants to take on - and sustain - the outdoor learning and play challenge. We also make sure our sessions are huge fun, interactive and thought provoking.
