The Land & Wave Outdoor Instructor Training is MUCH more than 15 weeks training and 16+ outdoor instructor qualifications. We provide lots of pre-course experience too.
Our aim is to develop well-rounded outdoor professionals. The best way to do this is to provide you with loads of opportunities to work different groups, in different conditions across different activities.The winter is all about learning and perfecting new skills and gaining qualifications.Time before your course (that’s now!) provides the perfect chance to get lots of experience alongside our instructors; joining them on sessions, watching how they work and spending as much time as possible in, on and around the water, crag and woods.As soon as you sign up to the Outdoor Instructor Training course you are offered as much experience as you want to cram in before the start of the course in November.

Why it’s Important
Group Experience – Part of being an instructor is knowing how to lead various groups from school kids to stags groups. We work hard to deliver awesome experiences for every type of client.
Develop your own skills – Whilst shadowing, you’ll be honing your own technical skills, group management, risk assessment and expertise.
Learn from lots of different instructors – We’re incredibly proud of the awesome instructors we employ; lots of them are past trainees who have completed the course. We employ some of the best, most driven people in the industry who love coaching and working in the outdoors.
Learn about ocean, weather and landscape – You’ll start tuning in to tides, ocean swell, wind and become a weather guru in time for the winter.
