Environmental Education/Forest School

Environmental Education/Forest School

by: Smallfry - 07-06-12 12:38

Hello, I currently work as a pre-school practitioner and I am nearly finished my diploma level 3. I have a BSc in Environment and do not wish to carry on and getting another degree, as I don't have the time though I do want to carry on studying in my interested field.

My dream is to work in environmental education preferably outdoor play like forest school. Can anyone give me any guidance on courses and areas I should be aiming for.

Thanking you for any advice. x

Go for the BTEC forest school leader (equivalent to one Uni paper) having done the course myself and having spoken to others- Bridgwater offers the best course so try and get on one run by them.

Thank you.

Are there any courses that deal with environmental education for children apart from forest school?

Think the next route would be council rather than the private sector ;)

perhaps you could try contacting yout local wildlife trust? they often do a lot of work with schools and could perhaps point you in the right direction locally.
