| Target
group
This
course has been designed specifically for the
14 plus age group and although would be of benefit
to any youngster, it is specifically aimed at
those who are having difficulty with normal academic
life. We envisage it to be of use to centres preparing
for the launch of the new 14-19 diplomas set to
come on line over the next few months and years.
This programme would laso be ideal for scouts,
Duke of Edinburgh and after school clubs all of
which we can come and deliver to.
Content
The
course is divided into 3 mandatory categories
and covers the following subjects in depth:
Outdoor
Living Skills - bushcraft skills including
fire, water, shelter and equipment.
Natural
History - plant identification and use,
identification of tracks and sign
Craft
- tool use and selection, craft
items including cordage, carving and camp crafts.
We
would also like to give the group the opportunity
of a 'camp-out' for one night at the end of the
course. This is optional as is not included in
part of the qualification but it is something
we think is important, firstly as a conclusion
to what they have been taught and secondly as
an experience to remember.
Accreditation
This
entire qualification has been accredited by the
NCFE as a level two qualification. The process
of assesment and accreditation is 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.
Woodcraft
School has very recently become an accredited
NCFE Centre. John Rhyder has written several totally
new and bespoke qualification for bushcraft that
are not available anywhere else in the country.
NCFE are perhaps the oldest organisation of their
kind in the country operating in the same way
as other awarding bodies such as City and Guilds
etc.
Certification
The
qualification is endorsed by the NCFE throughout
who are responsible for certification. Successful
candidates will recive a Certificate in advanced
Bushcraft Level 2 with both Woodcraft School
and the NCFE logo present.
