The qualification was developed with the knowledge and support of the Forest School Association, the organisation responsible for guidance and best practice in the Forest Schools sector.
The key areas covered include:
Blended learning is accepted for this qualification where elements of theory are covered. Due to the nature of the qualification and its purpose, learners MUST spend at least 80% of the guided learning hours in the presence of their trainer/assessor in an outdoors setting (i.e. 75 hours of the 96 GLH’s ‘face to face’).
All learners must demonstrate that they are in a position to deliver a 6 session Forest School pilot programme during their training.
All learners must plan and deliver six pilot Forest School sessions as part of the SEG Awards Level 3 Certificate for Forest School Leaders qualification. These sessions are a mandatory requirement but DO NOT contribute to the Guided Learning Hours (GLH) for the qualification. They must therefore be completed in addition to the published GLH’s of 96.
