Target
group
This
course has been designed specifically for the
14+ age group and although would be of benefit
to any youngster, it is specifically suitable for young people who favour a more hands on approach to learning or those who do not respond well in an academic environment. 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 also be ideal for scouts,
Duke of Edinburgh's Award and After School clubs all of
which we 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 signs.
Craft - tool use and selection, craft
items including cordage, carving and camp crafts.
As part of the course we ensure that students learn the all important safety skills, personal awareness and we try to foster self sufficiency. All subjects are taught at a manageable level. 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 2 qualification. 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.
Certification
The
qualification is endorsed throughout by the NCFE
who are responsible for certification. Successful
candidates will recive a Certificate in Intermediate
Bushcraft Level 2 with both Woodcraft School
and the NCFE logo present.
