Outdoor Introductory Award

The Outdoor Introductory Award is a new work-based qualification for the Outdoors, based on longstanding induction standards for staff working at outdoor centres. It focuses on the initial induction training that all staff (not just instructors) might undergo when joining an outdoor centre or organisation. The training compliments duplicate qualifications such as National Governing Body Awards and is in the process of being accredited by SkillsActive.

The National Skills Academy is currently running a 12 month pilot project with PGL, putting 75 learners through the new award and reviewing and evaluating the effect of this on the organisation, individuals and their clients.

The Introductory Award provides a basic qualification that underpins the knowledge of individuals entering the industry. It complements and helps individuals move towards their National Governing Body awards. Ultimately we hope that the qualification will be fundable and are working towards this wholeheartedly.

The success of the pilot project will be judged on the impact on individuals completing it, and their resulting career progression.

This is just one example of how we can deliver new innovative qualifications for employers using the expertise of our partner SkillsActive. For more information, please feel free to contact us using our enquiry form.
