Hi Lily,
I’m interested in attending the Level 3 course in Leeds this Spring. Do I need to be working in a setting to complete the portfolio in between the two training weeks?
Thanks
Anna
You will need to find a group of children to run six sessions of an introduction to Forest School programme. This could be as a volunteer or with a group you bring together for sessions.
The Leeds course is full but do request a place on the waiting list.
We also have a course starting in Bradford soon after the Leeds course.
All the best Lily
