Outdoor Leader Training

Hampshire has pioneered the development of this leader award.  It is now becoming increasingly available across the country.  It supports off-site activity in varied open country environments, as well as acting as a generic leader award, covering as it does many of the good practice factors that educational visit management requires.

The one-day training focuses on group management, risk-benefit assessment and risk management, involving practical activity and the safe use of throw-bags.

The qualification is valid for five years.

To book individuals a place on a course (£85 for HCC) please do so directly though the Learning Zone or email: claire.bishop@hants.gov.uk
