OutdoorLads is pleased to be able to offer a very limited number of heavily discounted places on this 1-day outdoor tutoring course from MountainXperience held in the Peak District.
The NNAS Tutor Award is a 1 day (8 hour) course for anyone who wants to teach the NNAS Navigator Awards. It can also be useful to those working towards leadership qualifications such as the Lowland Leader, Hill and Moorland Leader or Mountain Leader.
Launched in 2016, the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) Tutor Award was created to recognise that just because one can personally navigate, it doesn’t follow that one can teach it.

On this one day course, you’ll look at different methods for teaching navigation to beginners from simple games to learning strategies. You’ll see how a Bronze Navigator Award course can be delivered and learn more about the Navigator Awards and the NNAS itself.
Successful completion of the NNAS Tutor Award will also enable (after approval by NNAS) those without a higher hill or mountain walking qualification, but with experience and interest in the outdoors, to help teach on a Bronze award under the guidance of a registered NNAS Course Director.
The course is a mixture of classroom and practical sessions and offers the opportunity for candidates to discuss their own methodology as well as learning new techniques from others.
Successful completion of the NNAS Tutor Award also counts for one CPD (continued personal/professional development) point for qualified Mountain Training Association Members.
This course is being offered to ODL at a more than 50% discount on public prices. The cost will be £25 + £16 course fee. After signing up, members will be messaged with instructions on how to book direct with MountainXperience.
This course will be led by an OutdoorLads Leader and run jointly with his own outdoor business so there will be non-ODL members on the course with you. Places are very limited so please only sign up if you're certain you're able to attend.
