All training is delivered in modular format through practical experiential delivery, combining the head knowledge with practical experience:

• Navigation, Route Planning
• Camp Craft including tent selection/erection, camp hygiene, personal & group management
• Cooking and catering for expeditions
• Personal Kit selection, rucksack packing, First Aid

Practice Expeditions

Of course it is essential to put the theory into practice and our practice expeditions are an essential part of that preparation. The first expedition is guided fully supervised and is often the first time students are able to practice their new navigation skills. The second expedition is designed so that the students are able to manage themselves around a selected route, supervised indirectly by an experienced Mountain Leader in preparation for the final practice where the students are supervised remotely; this is the final expedition before their assessment.

We also advise on how to carry out the project or aim of the expedition, exploring different ways of recording you expedition to deliver  a unique and creative presentation.

We are also able to provide trained DoE assessors at all levels of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
