Accrington & Rossendale College are running a FREE 4-week course that prepares you for work in the outdoor industry.

The course will give you a taste of what is involved in working in the outdoor industry; you will develop a range of skills around teamwork, communication skills, planning and environmental awareness.

It’s a 4-week course which runs from 10am till 4pm Wednesday, Thursday and Friday each week and during the course you will assist in the delivery of an outdoor activity session and learn job search skills.

There will be a mixture of theory lessons and practical activity; you will be continually assessed whilst you create a portfolio of evidence so no exam!

Transport from the college will be provided for the practical activities but you will need suitable clothing such as waterproof top, a fleece/thick jumper, tracksuit bottoms, gloves, hat and robust footwear such as walking boots.

The course starts Wednesday 24th November and to book a place, contact Val Wood on 01254 354055 / 07811 338123 and mention the NCFE Level 1 Award in Personal Development for the Outdoor Industry.
