EVC Training


Our EVC training, Accredited by the Institute for Outdoor Learning, developed and overseen by OEAP Course Directors is delivered using a blended approach. The feedback we have received is this is the preferable method for our schools.

It enables:

  • attendees to save time travelling;

  • attendees to reduce their carbon impact;

  • schools to reduce costs on supply cover;

  • us to be flexible with cancellation or postponement due to last minute issues arising in schools;

  • attendees to undertake the course from the comfort of their home, office or classroom - no more cold Village Halls or Scout Huts.

Our courses can be booked as part of our open course dates below or at a time to suit you and your team, just select the link below.
