NCFE Level 2 Bushcraft Instructor

This course will provide you with foundation skills and experience to enable you to lead and teach bushcraft and provide you with the qualification to gain insurance for your sessions.

We are proud to be able to offer the NCFE Level 2 Bushcraft Instructor course.

This 30 hour module is designed for people who want to work with groups in the woods and deliver fun and engaging bushcraft sessions.

You should have an interest in bushcraft and have some previous experience to attend the course.

This course will:

  • Take you and/or your instructors to the next level
  • Allow you to offer a wider range of experiences to your clients/pupils
  • Cover all the fundamentals plus invaluable aspects of group management and site suitability and sustainability
  • Leave you with the knowledge and experience to deliver engaging, fun, quality bushcraft sessions
  • Enable you to get insurance for your sessions through credible brokers

How it works:

  2. Practise your skills (at least 16 hours of consolidation is required)
  3. Day of observed assessment

After the teaching you will be informally tested (practically and by question and answer) on the other parts of the syllabus.

You are required to spend 30 hours on this course. The training days are between 7 to 7.5 hours each. You are then expected to commit 16 hours to consolidate your skills (this should include developing lessons for the assessment and we will give you example lesson plans to help with this).
