What skills can our Outdoor Education students offer your business?
Outdoor education students offer a range of skills and knowledge exchange in the following areas:
- Designing, leading and reviewing outdoor classes.
- Teaching and managing groups (e.g. primary/secondary schools, volunteers).
- Understanding and explaining processes in the local environment.
- Competence and confidence in a range of outdoor activities (e.g. hill walking, mountaineering, kayaking/canoeing and rock climbing).

When do students go on placement?
This module runs over the summer with students deciding their work placement in spring by liaising directly with an organisation. Students undertake a minimum of 75 hours volunteering over three weeks (normally spread over several weeks with students volunteering for one full day per week).
