SUMMARY:LtL Professional Accreditation in Outdoor Learning and Play OR Designing for School Grounds (November 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\nThe accreditation programme operates at a senior level offering two training routes to accredit professionals: Outdoor Learning and Play\, and Designing for School Grounds. \nThe former course is for individuals who are usually working in a role advising and training others in education. Their work is often alongside head teachers\, and school staff\, with a skill and knowledge level commensurate with that. \nThe latter course is for design professionals who have experience of working on larger-scale school grounds projects – up to whole site designs. Most of those taking this option are landscape architects. However\, if you are a professional designer but not a landscape architect and are interested in this course please talk to us about whether this is the right option for you. \nBoth courses are appropriate for those working principally in and with schools\, however\, we only accept candidates with at least two years of experience in at least two settings in developing practice OR designing outdoor learning and play in schools. \nAll will attend the two days of the course and designers will be expected to attend the equivalent of half a day of training after the main course\, at no additional cost. \nThe course is assessed by submission of a portfolio of evidence and a short written assessment paper. Submissions must be received within 6 months of attending the training. The assessment is only required if you want to be recognised as LtL accredited and some trainees use the course purely as part of their own personal professional development. \nPlease note that ticket sales close one week before the event starts. Please see our open course booking terms & conditions. \n\nThe benefits\nThe course itself is packed with ideas\, resources and challenging sessions with like-minded individuals. Our course feedback is superb\, with many commenting that the active\, reflective and collaborative programme reflects our values and processes well. \nOur name and logo is synonymous with over 35 years of transforming school grounds\, improving outdoor learning and championing the value of play. LtL Accredited Professionals are able to display our logo and name as part of the certification\, helping win further business. \nWe work with our Accredited Network to supply resources\, advice and information to a mutual advantage. This varies from newly published works to passing on leads for new projects. Course attendees immediately access many resources\, and these are further expanded upon successful Accreditation. \nIn addition LtL only contracts with freelance staff who have successfully completed a relevant LtL Professional Accreditation\, and who maintain a set of standards including PVG/DBS\, first aid and appropriate insurances. While we do not guarantee work\, many on our LtL Accredited Network benefit from multiple days’ work each year and good rates of pay. \nIn the situation where a school is looking for a professional designer we will put forward names of designers from our Accredited Network to the schools for them to work with directly. \nWho this training is suitable for\nThis training is ideal for experienced individuals looking to build competence and a business around outdoor learning consultancy and training for schools and early years settings. It will help you support and encourage whole school communities to improve their knowledge\, skills and confidence in the use of outdoor spaces for learning and play OR to design nature-rich and climate responsive school grounds that support outdoor learning and play. It is also beneficial to those looking for their own personal professional development. \nThe Outdoor Learning and Play accreditation is for education professionals with at least 2 years’ experience of working with schools at a senior level to support improvements in educational practice or play. You will have a significant education background and be able to relate well to the role of educators and teachers\, understand wider curriculum and the role of play in schools or early years settings. \nThe Designing for School Grounds accreditation is for professional designers who are used to working small and larger-scale school grounds projects and have at least two years’ relevant experience and have worked on at least two educational design projects. \nCourse overview\nThe course consists of: \n\npre-course reading and preparation\na two-day course with up to 20 other professionals\nall resources\, lunch and refreshments on both days\na follow up period with exam paper and portfolio to be submitted for marking\, before a successful accreditation\n\nThe course cost does not include travel or accommodation\, but we are more than happy to advise if needed. Many attendees are able to make use of small grant schemes to reduce or remove the cost of the course. \nTraining location\nThe training will be taking place at The Living Planet Centre\, the home of WWF-UK from 10:00AM – 5:00PM on 3rd November and 9:30AM – 4:30PM on 4th November. The address is Rufford House\, Brewery Rd\, Woking GU21 4LL. \nBefore booking\nPlease read the information about prior experience carefully. During this course we expect a level of understanding and experience around education. You should feel confident of being able to work with a whole school\, advising at head teacher level. \nIf you are unsure\, please email Mary Jackson at mjackson@ltl.org.uk \nWe do restrict access to the LtL Professional Accreditation to maintain standards for our customers\, Network members and staff team. \nPlease look at our staff team pages to give you an idea of the backgrounds our team currently have – which reflect our LtL Accredited Network too.
