Human Beings Are Important | Outdoor Instructor
The Land & Wave Outdoor Instructor Training course is unique and wonderful, it’s at the heart of our company, it shapes what we do and how we do it.
Immersing brilliant people in the great outdoors is an incredible way to spend a Winter.
We’ve worked very hard to make our course fantastic; we’ve learnt that inspiring, professional, engaging and generally wonderful coaches, instructors and assessors are essential.
We know that to build skills and confidence our trainee Outdoor Instructors need to be taught by knowledgeable, passionate people –
