group
The
course has been designed as a stand alone qualification
for outdoor practitioners who already hold high
level teaching and leadership qualifications and
do not wish to attend our full instructor programme.
As well as being designed for teachers, Forest
School leaders and youth workers, it has also been intended
for members of the public who wish to formalise
their bushcraft education by accrediting their
training.

The
course is divided into 3 mandatory categories
and covers the following subjects in depth:
Outdoor
Living Skills - bushcraft skills including
fire, water, shelter, equipment and clothing.
Natural
History - plant identification and use,
identification of tracks and sign and wild foods.
Craft - tool use and selection, craft
items including cordage, carving and camp crafts.
Accreditation
This
entire qualification has been accredited by the

that the subjects mentioned above are taught and
learned at an advanced level. The process of assesment
and accreditation is run by the NCFE who are
responsible for the quality assurance and control
exactly as they would be with any other award
they run.
Please note that all successful candidates from the Advanced Bushcraft Award can apply to be automatically placed on the IOL list for Foundational Bushcraft Competence Certificate.
