Visit Leader Training
-
This Visit Leader training course is designed to equip staff with the key requirements to become a competent leader of educational visits.
The course is delivered by an experienced Educational Visits Adviser.
Visit Leader Training is focused on active risk assessment and group management on educational visits and offsite activities and is primarily aimed at staff leading visits however it is open to all school/college staff.
Our Visit Leader training, Accredited by the Institute for Outdoor Learning, developed and overseen by OEAP Course Directors, is delivered live online using zoom. 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.
