He will provide opportunities for personal development for the attendees in terms of their confidence and competence in employing skills of this nature.

Who says OCN Forest Schools level 4 has to be taxing!

It was one of the few glorious weeks of weather there has been so far this year. But it was a fantastic opportunity for the participants of our OCN Level 4 Forest Schools Training to be able to soak up the surroundings here at the Archimedes HQ.

The Level 4 is a complete training package equipping you with the skills, knowledge and materials for you to start delivering Forest Schools training courses within your organisation.

This "in house" approach brings down the cost of providing training and allows budgets to stretch further thus providing more opportunities for children and young people to be involved in Forest Schools.If you would like to find out more about OCN Level 4 then call Dave on 0114 2855534.
