Bushcraft competency certificate training
This is a 3 day course covering bushcraft skills and knowledge suitable for teachers, instructors, leaders, to deliver progressive bushcraft learning experiences in their setting.
This course covers eight core bushcraft subjects; edged tools, knives and saws, fire, bow drill, water, debris shelters and bedding, tree identification and uses, natural navigation and cordage.
Throughout the course you will be provided with advice and guidance on tools and equipment and how to teach the skills covered to other people, whether that be individuals or groups, all based on their own years of experience. No prior experience is necessary.
