Now in its fourth successive year, the Full On Adventure Instructor Training Course (ITC) continues to offer the highest quality training and an excellent value way into a career in outdoor adventure instruction. Designed to provide training and qualifications in a wide range of outdoor activities we have chosen the National Governing Body (NGB) qualifications which will place our students in the strongest position to obtain employment in the Outdoor Education and Adventure Activity market place. The course is also designed to give you the skills, knowledge and inspiration to develop your own adventure sport skills and qualifications beyond the course and into new careers or outdoor lifestyles.

Our Staff hold the highest qualifications in their respective fields and have many years of experience working in National Mountain Centres, Outdoor Education Centres and Adventure Activity businesses. Our staff hold many qualifications which include British Canoe Union (BCU) Level 5 coach, Mountain Instructor Certificate (MIC), Winter Mountain Leader, Raft Guide Trainer, Mountain Bike Tutor and Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).

Our staff are chosen for both their experience and ability to coach our students as individual learners ensuring that course participants are best prepared and motivated to achieve their goals.

Whatever level of experience you come to our course with, you will leave having completed a large number of NGB courses and also a good understanding of the industry. The outdoor skills you develop will empower you to go out and gain the depth of experience and judgement that makes professional and safe outdoor instructors.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

To get the most out of this course you will need to be highly motivated and prepared to practice the skills taught and to go out and get the experience needed to register for and undertake the training courses we offer. You will be given a great deal of guidance and assistance in gaining experience during this course but only you can decide how much you're going to get out of it at the end of the day.

The Cost of this course is £4950 which includes self-catering accommodation for the full ten weeks. For accommodation we use good quality bunkhouses which have all the facilities you need. Students live in shared rooms. If you wish to arrange your own accommodation, the price is only £4350. The NGB registration and membership fees are also the responsibility of the student, as would normally be the case. Students should also allow for some personal equiptment purchase, depending on what you already have. The closing date for applications is 1st June 2007. We ask people to plan ahead as far as possible as this assists us in the organisation of staff. Please book as early as you can, we only need a deposit at that time. We ask for a deposit of £700 at the time of booking and the remaining balance by 1st June 2007. Deferred repayment Career Development loans are available from the DfES (Government Department for Education and Skills) 0800 585505.
