Outdoor Education – ALP-ND
ALPHA School of English

COURSE SUMMARY:
We are all aware of the importance of training and education within the classroom, lecture hall or boardroom. But if you are looking to bring that tuition to life in an exciting and immersive way, then taking your students or employees out into the ‘wild’ enhances and enriches their experience beyond measure. We invite you to take part in our engaging Outdoor Education course, providing you with the necessary skills to organise and lead your own worthwhile offsite experiences. This perfectly practical course will guide you step-by-step from the rationale behind offsite learning to taking part in trainer-led outdoor tasks to finally running and analysing your own activities out and about. It is ideal for those trainers and educators who are looking to make a marked difference in the way their training is executed within their organisations.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
Aimed at: Educators (primary, secondary, vocational). English level: Pre-Intermediate (B1).
