Why choose us ?

Our Team are outdoor people first. Between us, we've managed centres, held the qualifications, and spent years instructing adventurous activities with young people in all sorts of settings. That experience shapes every course we build, so you can be sure our training actually speaks to outdoor education and adventure, unlike other generic safety courses out there.

We understand the Outdoor Industry

We are on a mission to create a 'one stop shop' to cover the basic safety training aspects of induction into Outdoor Centre life. Our 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 senior staff to spend time repeatedly deliver the same training sessions.

Instant Certificates prove  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. 

We're CPD Members

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

Feedback on our Courses

"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 really 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."

"Introduction to ppe inspections" course participant
"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
