With expert trainers Marina Robb, Jon Cree and friends.

Gain the skills and confidence you
need to take your practice outdoors.

This course is led by experienced health and education nature practitioners and is now available as an ITC Level 3 qualification.

The Certificate in Nature-based Practice is relevant for anyone who wants to gain the confidence and competence in working with groups in a range of outdoor settings.

“My experience doing this course has really transformed my thinking regarding nature-based practice. I have managed to apply parts of what I learnt within my work environment and have full backing from colleagues regarding trying to utilise what I learnt. I never realised the true impact outdoors can have on an individual and team level and hope to see it being prescribed in the future as a treatment for certain health problems.”
