Course Overview

Forest Schooling is changing the way children learn outdoors, and more UK schools and settings are adopting it every year. Learning outside the classroom builds confidence, resilience and real-world skills, and this course shows you exactly how to make that happen. You’ll gain a full understanding of what Forest Schooling involves, from planning sessions to keeping children safe.

You’ll start by learning what Forest Schooling actually is and the wide range of benefits it brings to children’s development. From there, you’ll explore how a Forest School programme is structured, along with learning, playing and survival activities that help children grow in confidence outdoors. The course also covers child development in more depth, alongside eco-friendly practices and thorough safety and risk management, so every outdoor session runs smoothly and safely.

This Forest Schooling course is split into short, easy modules, so you can learn at your own pace, wherever you are. Whether you work in education, childcare, or simply want to bring outdoor learning into your setting, this course gives you practical, ready-to-use skills. It’s CPD accredited, fully online, and comes with a free digital certificate once you finish.
