Course summary
The CertHE Outdoor Adventure Education programme is designed to provide an academically rigorous and vocationally relevant programme, as a progression route to the full BA. Principally, the programme is designed to integrate the practical and vocational skills necessary to work in the outdoor sector with strong academic understanding and appreciation of broader principles relating to fields of pedagogy, psychology, sociology, wellbeing and philosophy. Whilst the programme provides an ideal foundation for work within the field of outdoor adventure, it has also proven highly suitable for a range of other employment roles that are emerging within health, education and physical activity more generally.

A variety of formats are used for coursework and practical assessments, including: Portfolios Practical teaching/coaching Essays Journals Presentations Digital Media Blogs Academic interviews.
