An Outdoor Activity Instructor supervises and guides children and adults in activities and pastimes such as canoeing, sailing, climbing, surfing, cycling, hillwalking, archery, bushcraft, rock pooling, geology, plant identification, habitat or wildlife walks at an introductory level.  

You will:

• Prepare sessions to achieve the required outcomes, for example, enjoyment, thrill seeking, personal or team challenges, acquisition of new knowledge or skills
• Select methods and plan sessions to meet all participant needs g. visual impairment, mental and physical ability
• Communicate with customers and colleagues in a clear, concise and effective manner

This Apprenticeship is ideal if you would like to work in a outdoor activity or education centre and actively respect your environment. You must be positive, have a good attitude to work, be approachable and model an active lifestyle.

Next steps: After completing the Apprenticeship you could move on to a Team Leader Apprenticeship or move into full time employment.

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you ideally need GCSE grade 4 in English Language and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme.

You will have access to the facilities at Haven Banks Outdoor Education for College-based NVQ knowledge and technical skills development delivery sessions.
