Details

The Forest Kindergarten qualification has been designed specifically to meet the needs of Early Years practitioners who would like to use outdoor spaces for learning and play on a regular basis. During this course, candidates will be trained and equipped with all the knowledge and processes they need to be able to deliver Forest Kindergarten sessions within their own setting.

This is a National Workplace Award, credited at Scottish Credit Qualifications Framework (SCQF) Level 7. This qualification is equivalent to National Vocational Qualification Level 4 or Higher National Certificate (HNC), and is relevant anywhere in the UK (and beyond). Compare qualification levels on the SQA website.

Upon completion of this course, your nursery or early years setting will also be qualified to display the Learning through Landscapes Forest Kindergarten accreditation logo on your website.

Please note that ticket sales close one week before the event starts. Please see our open course booking terms & conditions.

Programme

— Registration and pre-course reading.
— A 3-day interactive course which includes practical activities, observation of children and professionals, and input and training on specific issues.
— A post-course portfolio of work which aims to ensure that candidates have the knowledge and processes in place to run their own Forest Kindergarten.
