I recommend the Level 2 Bushcraft course whole-heartedly. Not only has it given me an entirely different perspective on the outdoors but more importantly, it has allowed our school to develop and outdoor environment, which encompasses the ethos of outdoor learning. We now have the confidence to use our new skills and knowledge to help children discover a whole range of opportunities – whatever the weather! Den building, fire making, water purification even baking bread over a fire that they have created has allowed the children to express themselves in a way that classroom learning cannot. Children love learning in this environment, they are fascinated by it, developing their social and communication skills and an appreciation for the world around them.

Mark, I just wanted to thank you for your delivery of the Bushcraft Level 2 training and assessment I attended a few weekends ago. Every part of the training was perfect. The organization, facilities and your broad depth of knowledge (not forgetting your sense of humour!) was superb. The level of expertise shared by yourself and your team was second to none. The content of the curriculum you delivered was bulging and it is a real eye opener to see how many things modern life has allowed us to forget. I’ll definitely be re-booking as I continue to deepen my knowledge of Wilderness Living Skills and Bushcraft.
