Find an instructor

How to use the 'find an instructor'

AMI is the representative Association for qualified Mountaineering Instructors. All of our Members are independent, and either run their own businesses or work for larger organisations. We list them here so you can find them easily and see what they have to offer.

Depending on the nature of the course or activity you should expect to pay upwards of £200 per day for the services of a Mountaineering Instructor. Remote areas, winter conditions, long routes and specialist experience are just some of the factors that may justify a higher daily rate.

Ratios vary greatly depending on the grade or nature of the terrain but an instructor/client ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 is typical for rock climbing, winter climbing and scrambling in mountainous environments. In some circumstances a higher ratio is possible, such as a larger group size at a lower and less remote venue. Maximum ratios for these days are determined by the instructor.

Select your instructor and contact them directly to make your enquiries.

Climbing and the outdoors are a lifestyle choice for me and I love to share my knowledge and experience with others.I can offer coaching and instruction anywhere in the North Wales area and further afield given sufficient notice. I love both traditional and sport climbing and have climbed up to E7 and F8a. I also enjoy Alpine climbing- highlights include the Italian Ridge of the Matterhorn and the South East Ridge of the Zinalrothorn.

Hi my name is Connor Holdsworth I am the company founder of Atlas Mountaineering. I was born in Bradford although I have spent a great deal of my adult life in Scotland. Since a young age I have always been outdoors walking and climbing it only seemed natural after I graduated from university that I would do this full time. I love helping people experience what the UK has to offer whether it is trying climbing for the first time or taking a group to the summit of Ben Nevis. It is such a beautiful place to live and work and I would not trade what I do for the world. Outside of work I am a keen climber and love going on big adventures recently I have spent time in Morocco in the High Atlas mountains (hence the company name) and the Italian Dolomite climbing and trekking.

Sam Percival started mountain biking in the UK with his friends after school way back in 1997. Before long evenings and weekends were full of mud sweat gears and grins. His love and respect of the hills has defined him since then and driven him to explore different ways to interact with the natural world around him. Always with an element of risk usually with an element of speed. He has at one time or another explored the uk whilst mountain biking caving canoeing motor-biking summer and winter mountaineering hill walking scuba diving wild swimming skydiving and much more. He discovered climbing in 2009 and it has become a defining sport for him particularly in the British traditional style in which he has lead at E4 6b grade. He has worked as an outdoor instructor for over 10 years and has introduced uncountable numbers of people to the outdoors. He loves teaching and has gained a long list of recognised qualifications.He can be usually be found near a crag with scraped knees his hound Spark by his heels and a cup of coffee in his hand.Outdoor related qualifications;Mountaineering Instructor AwardL3 Diploma in Adult education and teachingFirst aid instructorMountain LeaderSingle pitch climbing instructorClimbing wall instructorAbseil instructorLead climbing instructorLevel 1 kayak coachLevel 2 canoe coach3* paddling award holderL1 cave and mine leader trainedMountain bike leaderArchery society archery coach PPE inspector competent person certifiedAccess and rescue competent person certifiedB licence skydiving holder

I have had a passion for the outdoors as long as I can remember. My desire to develop my passion into a career started in 2010 when I started training as an instructor.While climbing has brought me to many locations including Wales Scotland France Thailand Tanzania and the USA. It is in Ireland where I ve enjoyed my favourite days out on rock and hill.From hiking in Connemara to scrambling up Howling Ridge trad climbing at Ailladie or bouldering in Doolin I find Ireland has everything to offer the hill walker and climber.

Making the most of your own back garden has always appealed to me. As our back garden in Berkshire was flat and devoid of rock I had to move. I now live on the edge of the Lake District and the North Yorkshire Dales so have a brilliant back garden in which to play and theres never a bad time of year be it cragging climbing mountain routes hill walking mountain biking running canoeing and even caving.

I am a keen hill walker mountaineer and climber. I m extremely active in all three of these sports and have accumulated a wealth of experience stretching back to my first notable adventure in to the mountains in 1992 (Austrian Alps). In pursuit of these activities I have travelled throughout Britain as well as further a field in places such as the Alps the Andes South-East Asia North and East Africa.

My passion for mountains & expeditions started in 2005 spending over 2 months living deep in the remote jungles of Belize.In the past 12 years I have organised guided & summited mountains on over 80+ expeditions all over the world as well as gaining qualifications & working freelance/self-employed across the UK in both Summer & Winter. Living in North Wales I live a non stop life of outdoor instructing/guiding/teaching & expedition guiding work. During the year I enjoy work as an MIA & WML in North Wales & Scotland & spread throughout the year I lead expeditions to all corners of the world through my company Mountain Expeditions. Whilst I have a deep love for dry rock & esoteric summer adventures winter conditions are where I truly feel at home whether in Scotland the Alps or at extreme high altitudes & on both foot & ski. Winter climbing & skiing are my main passions & I hope to develop my skills in this area or order to become and MIC and potentially IFMGA over the coming years. Highlights: In spring 2017 & 2018 I guide on the North and South of Everest respectively with successful summits for my clients. In 2017 I completed the worlds coldest and hardest ultra race – The Yukon Arctic Ultra. My friend and I became the first team ever to complete the 430 mile race on foot. In 2018 I organised and guided a world record breaking speed round of the famous 7 Summits smashing the record by 9 days. I have accumulated vast amounts of high altitude experience but my drive for harder more technical climbs is rapidly growing hence my desire to do the MIC & IFMGA.Everest 8848m x3Lhoste 8516mNuptse 7861mPeak Communism 7495mPeak Pobeda 7439mKhan Tengri 7010mPeak Lenin 7134m x3Peak Korjenevskaya 7110mAma Dablam 6812m x8Aconcagua 6962m x2Denali 6218m x2Island Peak 6189m x7Kyajo Ri 6186mLouche East 6168m x2Kangchung 6069mCotopaxi 5897mKilimanjaro 5895m x25 Elbrus 5642m x14Carstenz Pyramidm 4884 Mont Blanc 4810m Mt Meru 4484m Toubkal 4134m x5

I live and work in Fort William in the Highlands of Scotland - at the foot of Ben Nevis! Having grown up in Germany I initially moved to Scotland to study in 2008 fell in love with the country and stayed. As one of only a few females in the UK to hold the WMCI what I enjoy most is to take people out into the mountains and help them develop their skills to become independent mountaineers and climbers - in summer or winter. I love working with people - young and old(er) - and help them develop in whatever possible. Please get in touch via email (lenabrune@hotmail.com) if you would like me to help you with your goals.

I live in the Lake District and love teaching coaching and guiding climbing and mountaineering. Whether its long days in the mountains pulling hard on limestone sport crags or doing funky moves on a boulder...Im pretty happy when Im climbing. Its a sport with something for everyone. I can explore new places meet new people push myself physically and mentally and enjoy an activity which is inclusive and inspiring no matter who you are. I aim to still be in the hills and pulling myself up rock climbs when Im 80!?I have lived in Yorkshire the Peak District and Scotland before returning to Cumbria. I started climbing as a teenager  first competing indoors and then learning to explore outdoor climbing and mountaineering all over the UK and abroad. ?I studied for a degree in Outdoor Studies and since then have gained many years working in the outdoor industry with a wide variety of clients activites and locations. I am experienced in youth development work and also currently study part time for a masters degree in Environmental Education. ?I always continue to pursue my own passion for the outdoors in my personal time particularly in rock climbing. I enjoy being outdoors regardless of the grade but some specific highlights have been trad climbing up to E6 sport climbing up to 8a and bouldering V11.I really enjoy teaching and coaching others to develop skills for themselves no matter what level theyre at and love sharing my passion with other people.

I currently work in the capacity as a Director of a small business - Acclimbatize Adventure Activities based near Matlock in the southern Peak District.Prior to setting up Acclimbatize I held positions at Whitehall Centre in Buxton Dukes Barn Centre in Beeley and also with the Derbyshire Youth Service where I established a successful outdoor activity provision for young people in the local area.Additionally I have worked overseas in the capacity as a leader for a British Expedition company as a destination manager for a British Ski tour operator and briefly as an associate lecturer at Derby University.A genuine passion for being outdoors fortunately delivered me to a career pathway that I still feel privileged to be active in. It is a genuine honour to be in a position to impart practical knowledge and experience based wisdom on to candidates embarking on their own journeys. My approach to training and delivery is person focussed - this is achieved by complimenting your existing skill set with some appropriate new ones. My style is quiet but certain practical and efficient.

1993 or 1994 - it seems a long time ago now! I remember the feeling of working towards my ML and SPA assessments and like most people, thinking that these would be the limit of my journey through the awards. One of my ML assessors spoke openly about further awards - Winter ML, MIA and MIC. Usually those awards had only been mentioned in hushed tones, but they now seemed very accessible. I spent time working in various centres, progressing through the awards, getting involved in the training boards and delivering a range of training and assessment courses. Lots of things come to mind - bad weather on the Brandon ridge in Kerry, stunning nights of snow-holing in Scotland, long days climbing in North Wales and the Lakes. What have the awards given me? Well, the opportunity to get into the outdoors, into some fantastic places, with great people, is probably what I value most. If we can learn off each other, even better!

Hello Im an experienced and well qualified climbing instructor. I began climbing in the early 1970s and realised it was an activity I could enjoy for the rest of my life. Lo and behold after travelling and climbing all over the world here I am in my 60s still enjoying getting about on the crags hills mountains and snowy slopes on skis and snow shoes on a regular basis. After a career in academia I began a new venture by creating my business/lifestyle Classic Adventure (http://www.classicadventure.co.uk). We operate from our home in the English Lake District and offer accommodation as well as all the mountain activities. So if you want a grand day out on the crags or mountains get in touch and we will make sure you have a classic day.

I have been a climber and mountaineer for over 40 years. I learned to climb in Patagonia where my Irish ancestors went to live a few generations ago. There I made the first female ascent of the emblematic mountain Fitzroy before being invited to Europe to climb the North Face of the Eiger in the Swiss Alps on behalf of United Nations UK. Success on that meant I was asked to do the stunt work on the film Cliffhanger so I stayed climbing around Europe before a serious accident stopped me from climbing a couple of years. I reverted to teaching languages in Sheffield whilst recovering and learning to climb again. I developed a personal climbing style to make up for a permanent nerve injury in my right foot and trained hard to win the UK indoor Climbing Championships in 1994.While instructing at the weekends I was a P.E. and modern languages teacher in schools and colleges until I decided to follow my heart and teach climbing full time. Since then I have climbed all over the world -up to 8b sport and E 7 trad - and still love all types of climbing in many different areas.Currently I live and instruct in North Wales during Spring & Summer and go to Spain in the Autumn and Winter to follow the best weather for mountaineering and rock climbing. I coordinate and train a team of fully qualified instructors who I like and trust to do a great job whenever I cannot teach myself. Together we are the Rock Climbing Company and we all share the passion of being in the mountains whether hiking scrambling bouldering rock climbing or via Ferrata. We just love being in the mountains and help others to discover them.

I love the process of figuring out my clients motivations and aims in their climbing looking at ways they can improve their technique physical performance as well as tactics and the mental side. I use every aspect of my training (Mountain & Climbing Instructor and Development coach) as well as what Ive learnt through 15+ years of coaching life and my own climbing to get the best out of my clients.I work both indoors and outdoors since we need both to practise exercises training and technique to allow us to see changes in our climbing. I live in Sheffield working out of all the climbing walls there and also the Peak District which offers a lifetime of both limestone sport climbing and gritsone trad climbing and bouldering.I am also a provider for the Mountain Training Coach Award Scheme Foundation and Development courses and the BMC FUNdamentals courses. All of these courses are for coaches and instructors who want to improve their coaching skills.

I have been a qualified teacher working full time in schools for 23 years. In that time I have had the fortune to work with some amazingly motivated young people and some exceptional classroom practitioners. They all should be thanked for their patience and for giving me the opportunity to improve my pedagogy as an outdoor professional. I have been a PE Teacher a Head of Outdoor Education Assistant Head Deputy and now Headteacher/CEO of an Academy Trust. As an educator and coach I aspire to help people reach their potential in the outdoors. Providing inspirational experiences and quality learning opportunities that will help them to become confident to take on adventures independently. Holding the MCI & the Development Climbing Coach certificates I offer a wide variety of mountaineering and climbing opportunities both indoors and outdoors. A background in (degree) Exercise Physiology & Biomechanics has certainly been instrumental in breaking down movement patterns and periodising training plans for improved performance. I have led expeditions and climbed extensively in Europe as well as bigger trips to the U.S and New Zealand. I am a full member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors and I aim to provide the highest quality experiences underpinned by sound and up to date theoretical principles.I do not rely on working freelance which has enabled me to take on interesting projects - as long as the big projects fall in the school holidays! I am always happy to network and to share good practice and resources so feel free to get in touch.Additional quals to MTUK: Leadership & Management: FCMI CMgr MEdEducation: NPQH PGCE BSc(hons)Outdoors: Level 2 Coach British Canoeing MBLA Mountain Biking

<p>Im a keen climber and mountaineer out living the dream; whether its off somewhere exciting on my own personal adventures or sharing my passion whilst working with clients. I really enjoy working with psyched people who want to progress their skills so they can have their own adventures and achieve their outdoor goals whatever they may be. Learning to Ice Axe arrest for the first time sliding down a snowy slope in the Cairngorms on a Winter Skills course tying into a rope for their first trad lead on a Rock Climbing course or the moment when suddenly navigation finally starts to make sense and the compass isnt some alien tool anymore. These are the moments when a whole world of adventure is opened up and why I get a real kick out of instructing.</p><p>Happy adventures!</p>

I grew up in London but was always heading off to any park and woods I could find. When I moved to Leeds I loved how easy it was to get out of the city and explore the moors. I started rock climbing around the same time and would head off for camping and climbing expeditions to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Little did I know then that I would eventually become a Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor and get to live and work in the mountains. I run Latitude 534 with another MCI Pete Marshall With a combined 30years working in the outdoors we wanted to build a company that reflected not just the wealth of our experience but also the quality of the work we provide. We run courses in climbing and mountaineering but also ways to help people get out into the hills for their mental health for some space to breathe. Not just run of the mill activities but quality instruction; supportive and inclusive access to the outdoors. I count myself very lucky to have traveled widely; hiking climbing and camping in all sorts of places all over the world. I have always felt more comfortable out in the hills. I relax I breath deeper and time slows down a little. For me it doesn t matter if it s a dog walk on the beach or a multi-day ascent of an Alpine mountain as long as there are wide open spaces I m happy.

I am a local activist and instructor who has a bit more time on his hands now that I have retired from history teaching at a local secondary school. I am privileged to be able to spend my time rock climbing mountain walking winter climbing scrambling mountain biking and sometimes just exploring the hills I love. I have lived in Llanberis for the last 20+ years and whilst teaching also got the schools Duke of Edinburgh Award off the ground encouraging many local children to get into the mountains. I enjoy working and spending time with people who want to be in the mountains as much as I do: my classroom is now the mountains! Im just as happy finding a secluded walking route as I am getting to grips with some gnarly winter climb or just being sociable down The Beacon.

I am an active Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor (WMCI) based just north of Stirling. I started climbing and mountaineering in 1983 with limited instruction and lots of learning by doing! There were plenty of mistakes and adventures en route. I spent 17 years in the Royal Engineers during which time I managed lots of climbing mountaineering skiing and travel - all of it work of course...... Since leaving the Services I have run my own outdoors company been a freelance instructor and worked for Outlook Expeditions latterly as their Technical Director. I spent 4 1/2 years as one of the Outdoor Education Officers for High Life Highland (The Highland Councils NFP service provider) - but escaped!. The Highlands are awesome and like many I continue to spend as much time biking climbing skiing and running as I can in them - and now a little more paddling too! I am currently a freelance Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor along with mountain biking Nordic skiing and first aid training with the First Aid Training Coop. I also lead expeditions overseas for Jagged Globe. I try and do around d 10 days work a month (give or take) leaving plenty of time for more running with my border collie triathlon climbing and spending time with an awesome wife.

Climbing HighlightsThe best adventure climb must be Spitzkoppe in Namibia via the normal route. Slab climbing squeeze chimneys subterranean manoeuvres and a rarely visited summit followed by nerve racking abseils! For pure climbing delight my highlight is Westpillaren: a 12 pitch E2 in the Lofoten Islands every pitch was a total belter! Other InterestsExploring mountainous regions all round the world has been an obsession forsome time. Particular favourites have been climbing first ascents in Ethiopia and white water kayaking in Nepal.Favourite Skye Day?The full ridge traverse-all the best bits in one go!

I am a very keen climber skier and alpinist who works full time with my Mountain Training qualifications. I am very lucky to have bases in Sheffield in the Peak District and Llanberis North Wales (as well as spending a chunk of the winter season on the west coast of Scotland). I have lived and worked in Snowdonia for many years since studying at Bangor University. Most of my early work has been working with young people delivering multi-activity outdoor education and this is still a proportion of my work. I run Orange Mountaineering offering all aspects of mountain instruction and I also hve an AALS license allowing me to provide to U18s. As well as working for several large organisations such as the Military and Jagged Globe I also work for several small providers on navigation climbing and scrambling courses and for Outdoor Centres on ML RCI CWI awards. I am an approved AMI trainee workshop trainer for the MI scheme.I have worked in all the major mountain and climbing areas across the UK and have led several youth and adult overseas expeditions. I am an active member of Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team and Ive been the Training Officer the Vehicles Officer and since December 2022 the Secretary. In my own time I have been pushing my own highs year on year at high altitude. I spend several weeks each year exploring in the Alps mainly on skis.

I first registered on the Mountain Training scheme in 1995.Since then I have completed my MIA and my WML whilst being a full time Royal Marine Commando.In that time I have had many climbing and mountaineering trips around the world. The most memorable one was to climb the North Ridge of Mt Everest when on my summit attempt I came across an injured climber over the next seven and a half hours I carried the man from almost 8000mtrs down to ABC at 6300mtrs. For this act of bravery I was awarded the Royal Humane Societies Gold Stanhope medal.Now retired from the Royal Marines I work as a freelance instructor through out the UK.

Work: The common thread in all the work that Im lucky enough to spend my time doing is the teaching of mountaineering skills to others and guiding people in all conditions all year round. I consider myself to be good at understanding what stage people are at in their exploration of the outdoors and am capable of working out effective ways to get them to where they want to be. I live in the Peak District where I run my company Adventure Expeditions which specialises in providing high quality private courses guiding Duke of Edinburgh Awards and outdoor activities. I also work training and assessing mountain leaders and climbing instructors and provide climbing courses and guided climbing walking and scrambling throughout the summer. In winter I spend my time running winter skills courses guided ice climbing navigation courses and generally enjoying being out in the Scottish mountains normally in the Cairngorms or Glen Coe areas. Play:What its all about! I got into the work through a love of the activities through making plenty of the good old fashioned mistakes and even inventing a few new ones... I love long distance walking running and all forms of climbing (apart from aid-climbing!). I strive to push myself to go that little bit further in all the strange activities we get up to in the mountains. Im always planning the next challenge - Next on the horizon is the Cassin Route on the Piz Badille in Switzerland but this will be the third time of heading out with this route in mind!... Third time lucky maybe? Then Winters on the horizon and Ive got my eye on Central Grooves in Stob Coire nan Lochan and White Magic in Sneachda amongst many other classics Im yet to do if psychological and climatic conditions are favourable!If you have a goal in mind and theres adventure involved I believe I have some good skills and plenty of enthusiasm to help you along the way.

I have been an active climber and mountaineer since the early 90s.I have been fortunate to be able to travel extensively due to a busy uniformed occupation combined with a love of rock climbing mountaineering and Nordic skiing. My passion lies with rock and the challenge of mountaineering in winter and summer. Balanced with a yearning to be UK based to experience the challenges of winter climbing. My occupation has allowed me to experience these adventures from the northern hemisphere to the southern oceans of Antarctica with many months spent in the Alps and the greater ranges.Following the National Governing Body qualifications pathway I currently hold the Mountain Instructor Award and strive to complete the Mountain Instructor Certificate.Following this pathway I have completed many additional courses from complex avalanche courses mountain first aid International Mountain leader and a splash of NGB Workshops and CPD events. My professional career has presented me with a wide spectrum of outdoor activities and experiences mixed with academic learning opportunities. I have focused on practical coaching and mentoring in the outdoor environment and attaining a teaching qualification.I have been privileged to be a team leader and supported many unique charity fundraising activities such as abseils of the Shard Walkie Talkie Gherkin and BT Tower to name but a few. I have facilitated many challenging Zip Wire events such as the home nation stadiums Avon Gorge Blackpool tower and many more venues. I have widened my understanding of rope access and rescue techniques obtaining the British standards BS 7985 supervisor and delivered urban climbing in the UK and Internationally to develop this unique skill set.I act as a technical and specialist advisor to civilian / uniformed specialist organisation managing and conducting bespoke training involving all aspects of climbing and vertical movement.

Come and join me rock climbing scrambling navigating learning new winter skill climbing a winter climb trekking in the Alps of Europe or getting some personal climbing coaching. My passion is the outdoors and coaching instructing and teaching others in this environment in whatever aspect they want to develop. On top of the qualifications I have listed below I am also a Qualified Teacher having spent 8 years teaching Geography.I hold the Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor (WMCI) the International Mountain Leader Award (IML) and the Development Coach Award. This allows me to take you into technical terrain in the UK summer and winter be it mountaineering or climbing as well as walking and the IML allows me to lead trekking routes in Europe.In the process of getting this award I have completed my Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) Summer and Winter Mountain Leader Award (ML) and my Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor Award (MCI). This equates to 40 days training 32 days assessment and a minimum of around 350 days walking scrambling and climbing. I am also a full member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) and am the Development Officer for this organisation. Most importantly however I truly love my job. Call it what you will but teaching instructing coaching or guiding in the outdoors is brilliant. Every day is different as the weather changes the routes vary and peoples abilities ages and expectations differ. Please feel free to get in contact with me so that we can discuss how I can help you fulfil your outdoor ambitions. In the unlikely event that I cannot be the one to help you I will certainly put you in touch with someone who can.

Since discovering rock climbing and hill walking with the Scouts I have never been far away from the mountains. I have been lucky enough to turn what was supposed to be a year out into a full time career and I now hold the Mountain Instructor Certificate. I have gained so much from the outdoor environment particularly the Lake District I now enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for the hills with others and passing on the knowledge to go and explore them safely for themselves. I have been actively involved in mountain rescue in the Lake District as a member of the Keswick and Duddon & Furness teams and once appeared in Coronation street.I run More than Mountains with my wife Jill. We offer rock climbing scrambling guided walks navigation courses multi-activity days and winter mountaineering courses. You can come on one of our advertised dates or we can tailor a day just for you.We can teach you a new skill show you some of our favourite parts of the Lake District or perhaps guide you up a walking or climbing route you have always wanted to do. We guarantee enthusiastic qualified instructors and guides and small group sizes. If you have any questions about a course or a private day please do not hesitate to get in touch.

I have spent my life here in the Lake District a fantastic environment for adventure. From the early age of 12 I found climbing caving and canoeing – I knew then that I had found my passion. This discovery has finally led me to start my current business providing opportunities for people to experience their own <b>Real Adventures</b> …<br><br>To date I hold a variety of high level qualifications for use in the outdoor environment. In my “play time” I have climbed all over the UK as well in Colorado and Yosemite and much of Europe and Australia.<br><br>This business that I started in 1995 feels like part of a fantastic journey I have accidentally stumbled upon … I love it.

I have been instructing for 25 years and am based in the Lake District. I am Head of Centre at Ghyll Head Outdoor Centre near Windermere. I freelance as a Mountain Instructor and love spending time in the mountains with my friends and family. I am the course director for Mountain Training and deliver hill skills/mountain skills summer ML training and assessment courses. My passion for the outdoors started with family walks as a child and completing the DofE. Ghyll Head is an AAP and can deliver the expedition part of the award scheme. Personally I love journeying; whether in a sea kayak or ski touring and my enjoyment for climbing continues especially in the mountains and the Alps is a favourite. Teaching folks to become more independent in the mountains is so rewarding; imparting the skills and supporting their journey to become confident decision-makers is really satisfying and I just love helping people with that in mind.

I used to run ML courses and ran SPA and WGL courses since they started. These days that translates to running Lowland Leader Award and Exped Skills courses. From the CMS statistics I have apparently now assessed over 200 candidates for various schemes and probably trained 3x that number. Hopefully at least some of them remember some of what I taught them doing various types of work in the outdoors! As a freelance outdoor education person I see and do a wide variety of activities with lots of different age groups. The current range of work includes inspecting outdoor providers for the Licensing Authority and Learning Outside the Classroom quality Badge to supervising yr7s in Stratford both equally challenging.
