Hi,

I’m looking at booking onto the Level 3 Training and just wanted to check that i would be accepted onto it with my experience. I have worked in the outdoor industry for the past 6 years at a few different outdoor centres. My current job is at Bendrigg Trust which is again an outdoor centre but this one specialises in disability groups. I’ve worked with groups of all ages. From research i believe i would be able to book myself onto the Level 3 training without doing Level 1 and 2 but just wanted to double check.

Thanks in advance,

Vic
