FYI i have personally experienced this course, i completed my what was BELA back in the day, i cannot recommend this qualification or delivery agent more heartily. It was refreshing to learn from somebody who not only did this for a living but also has a passion for best practice. As an outdoor professional i can now understand the importance of the effective interpersonal skills Dave and his team instill into the course alongside quality outdoor content, it is also important to mention that over the last few years when commenting to colleagues the relevance of the course it would seem Dave's unique delivery style and attention to detail has equipped me with far more than a certificate.
