Leader Training

This two-day course gives a thorough introduction to the relevant skills, knowledge and approaches needed for delivering the John Muir Award scheme.

Those attending will have opportunities to:

  • Review and highlight experiences of, and interest in, the John Muir Award
  • Understand the ethos of the John Muir Award, its structure & criteria for gaining Awards
  • Participate in a variety of relevant outdoor and environmental activities
  • Plan and deliver a mock programme which meets John Muir Award criteria
  • Share experiences & review activities in the context of the Four Award Challenges

Who is it for?

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.
