Level 3 Outdoor Learning Coordinator
About Level 3 training
Outdoor learning has been shown to improve both learning outcomes for children and job satisfaction for teachers. In order to help schools adopt this method of teaching we are offering this Outdoor Learning Coordinator course. This nationally accredited course is for teachers and head teachers who wish to establish Outdoor Learning as a whole school approach. In summary, it looks at the management and coordination of all types of Outdoor Learning.
First, we explore the context behind Outdoor Learning. Then you will learn to plan an all year round programme of outdoor learning. Next we focus one developing policies, procedures and guidance for your team. Finally and perhaps, most importantly of all we give you the tools to enthuse others to take learning outside the classroom and embed this as whole school strategy.
You will need to have completed your Level 2 Outdoor Learning Practitioner or a Level 3 Forest School certificate before you can do this course. Alternatively you could do our combined level 2 and 3 Outdoor Learning Co-ordinator course.

Level 3 Outdoor Learning Coordinator
Outdoor Curriculum Coordinator
We will focus on planning an annual programme of Outdoor Learning so as to teach it across the school. For this reason, you will develop policies, procedures and risk assessments that support your work. We look at how learning in the natural environment can contribute to attainment, health and well-being and therefore maximise the benefits you will bring to your school.
Supporting Learning, Play and Development in a Natural Environment
In addition, building on the Level 2 course, this unit will further your understanding of learning, play and development in the natural environment and similarly look at education theories and holistic learning. Also, developing self confidence and self esteem. This includes identifying strategies to encourage positive behavior when learning outdoors
Sustainable Use and Management of Natural Resources
Again, this unit builds on the Level 2 course. You will deepen your understanding of eco-systems specifically studying the natural environment and how it will support Outdoor Learning. We look at the history of woodlands and sustainability in order to manage your site effectively.
