Course Summary:
This Forest School Leader course is for anyone interested in creating and running successful Forest School programs. The course is based on the 6 Forest School Principles and will give you the best start on your Forest School journey. It consists of five study units at Level 3:
Supporting Learning, Play, and Development in Natural Environments
Delivering Forest School
Observing and Evaluating Forest School

Teaching Outdoor Practical Skills
You'll dive into both theoretical knowledge and lots of practical skills practice. As part of the course, you'll put together a Forest School Program for your own setting, complete a work-based assessment, and create a portfolio of evidence. About halfway through, there’s a one-day workshop to help solidify everything you've learned.
