Feedback on our Courses

"The courses are great, very comprehensive content and nice to see the links to the Outdoor sector threaded throughout.

This makes them really powerful for our learners to have the topics put into their context"
CAROLINE - APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMMES MANAGER
"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
"I found the course quite useful boosting my existing knowledge. I particularly enjoyed how it covered the information in digestible chunks in a mixture of formats which helped it to be easy to understand."
Morgan - Apprentice Instructor, Hampshire
"For a while we've been looking for a course provider which can deliver the core safety training our team needs, but with a focus on our industry.

That's why we were delighted to find Learn the Ropes - the courses make the content feel much more relevant and applicable to our day-to-day work, which in turn makes it more engaging and memorable."

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

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.
