Why choose us ?

With a background in Outdoor Centre management, technical skills and qualifications, as well as experience instructing outdoor activities with young people in a range of settings, our team have developed these courses to provide courses which apply directly to outdoor education, rather than the generic online safety courses you could find elsewhere. 

We understand the Outdoor Industry

We are creating a range of courses as a 'one stop shop' to cover all basic safety training aspects of induction into Centre life. 
Courses reference scenarios encountered in the outdoor industry, rather than generalising.

Independent learning at a pace to suit all

Online training means everyone can learn at their own pace.

No need for managers to spend time repeatedly deliver the same training sessions.

Certification provided as proof of understanding 

We provide certificates of completion for all our courses, individualised and ready to store in training files. These are only issued on completion of a knowledge check which tests understanding of the course content. 

CPD Member Organisation

We are a member of the CPD Certification Service, demonstrating our commitment to quality training.

Feedback on our Courses

"The PPE Inspection Course gave me a brilliant introduction to carrying out PPE checks before for each climbing session.  I found it useful to be able to log in and out to complete modules at my own pace, as I sometimes struggle with a short attention span! :)"
Morgan - Apprentice Instructor, Hampshire
"For a while we've been looking for a course which gives our instructors a good basis of knowledge around PPE checks without having to send them on a Competent Person course. We used to run an in-house session but this course means we don't need our Lead Instructors to spend time doing this three or four times a year with each intake of new staff. It meets our needs perfectly."
NICOLE - Centre Manager, Ferny Crofts Activity centre
"The courses are well-written, being concise without skipping any important stuff. I like the combination of written and video formats, giving our team a range of options on how to learn."
MATT - SENIOR INSTRUCTOR, HAMPSHIRE
"I found the course quite useful boosting my existing knowledge, I enjoyed how it covered the information in digestible chunks in a mixture of formats which helped it to be easy to understand."

"Introduction to ppe inspections" course participant
"The course gives me peace of mind that my team members are up to date with knowledge on PPE inspections. In our team it fits in well with our hands-on training, covering things like legislation and markings in a clear, easy-to-digest way."

ALEX - Activities Manager, woodhouse park activity centre
"I liked all the visual and video information that gave clear instructions of what elements you are checking. This will be useful for someone with little experience in checking equipment as they can see everything they need to."
