A summary

This is great for parents, young people, and volunteers who want an introduction to the Forest School ethos. It usually takes four days of training and completing a simple e-portfolio. This practical course gives a good ’taste’ of Forest School.

Advertised L1 courses are the first four L2/ L3 training days.

Different course models are available. Please get in touch with us if you would like us to run this in your setting for a group of adults. It could be presented as a set of twilights. We also have an option to train alongside one of our trainers.

How we train

This Level 1 qualification is taught alongside our L2 and L3 so that trainees learn with people who are training to be Forest School Assistants and Leaders.

This enables you to quickly top up your training if you wish to continue learning.

We train in small, person-centred groups at the beautiful Sylva Wood Centre. Most of our courses have monthly in-person workshops with regular virtual webinars to help you with your studies. Our course structure is flexible because we know life can sometimes become challenging. If a workshop is missed, trainees can join the next cohort.

Much of our time is spent outdoors at the Future Forest Forest School site or in local woodlands and nature reserves. Our base is a modern teaching barn.

Cancellation policy

On confirmation of the cancellation from WTFI in writing, the Learner must pay a cancellation fee at a percentage of the course fee: 50% between three months and up to one month before commencement of training. 75% between one month and one week before commencement of training. 100% in the final seven days before commencement of training or once training has commenced

My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
