Who can join the Academy?

• You must be 18 years old or over and be able to swim.
• Some personal previous experience in outdoor activities is preferable but not essential. It is more important that you are enthusiastic and motivated to enable you to gain the most from the outdoor instructor training course. 
• All of the qualifications will be available if you have the personal ability to reach the standard required during the course. Additional follow up courses will be available for any person wishing to complete further training and awards.

How do you book a place?

• If you want to book a place on our outdoor instructor training course we ask you to arrange a visit to the centre. There will be an informal interview and tour of the facilities. This is so that you can see if you are suited to the course and for us to meet you to discuss your requirements.
• If you wish to then take up one of the places on the outdoor instructor training course you will be asked to complete a booking form to return along with a course deposit. You will then get confirmation of your place along with a recommended kit list and pre course questionnaire.
• If you are considering joining us in the Academy I am sure you will have many questions. Please feel free to call us.
