Who is it for?
Leader Training is designed for staff, volunteers and leaders who are interested in delivering the John Muir Award (maximum of three participants from one organisation). Content is aimed at those already working with groups or organisations, but will also be of interest to individuals. Ideally, those attending will have at least one year's experience of working with groups.
You should check suitability of the Award for your group prior to attending - guidance here or contact info@johnmuiraward.org to discuss further.
