About the event

There are 4 mandatory Training Days (9.30 to 4.30pm):
Tuesday 1st July, Wednesday 2nd July at Milton Locks Nature Reserve; Tuesday 8th July & Wednesday 9th July at Lee on the Solent Beach.

This Wild Beach Leader training course is 6 credits at Level 3, awarded by LASER.
There will be a portfolio of coursework to be completed within 6 months of the start of the course, via our online learning platform Moodle. All resources shared during the training days and additional online resources and videos will be provided on Moodle, after the training days to support the independent portfolio work.
Wild Beach is an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults of all abilities regular opportunities to gain confidence and raise self-worth through a series of hands-on learning experiences in the marine environment.                                                                                                         

Our Wild Beach Level 3 training is taught with the ethos behind the Forest School approach to child led learning and will prepare you to become a Wild Beach Leader. It will enable you to confidently deliver, plan and monitor all aspects of a Wild Beach programme. All our Wild Beach courses are delivered on our beautiful coasts in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight by our qualified, professional staff.
