Forest School Programme Leadership Certificate Level 3
The Forest School Level 3 course is suitable if you wish to run your own Forest School or to be a qualified Forest School leader within an educational setting.
You will take part in practical sessions held in South Devon College’s woodland, which are supplemented with online lessons, activities and reading. You will have nine months to attend sessions, gain valuable Forest School work experience and complete a portfolio of evidence.
You will need access to Forest School sessions to gain practical work experience of planning and delivering six sessions with the same group. Please be aware that The Department for Education’s minimum age for a Forest School Leader is 21, but assistants can be younger.
Starting in September, sessions will take place on Friday mornings for approximately nine weeks. Sessions will be both indoor and outdoor and will provide you with an understanding of the theories linked to forest school as well as giving you the opportunity to gain practical skills.
You will then be expected to complete your work experience which will allow you to create your portfolio. You will have regular support from a personal tutor throughout the programme.
Remember to bring suitable clothing as sessions take place whatever the weather!

I’ve recently completed my Level 5 HR Consultant Partner Apprenticeship at South Devon College and have enjoyed every minute! South Devon College has provided me with the tools and resources I needed to complete the course. My tutor and colleagues were extremely supportive and created an open environment to encourage participation and the sharing of ideas! Doing an apprenticeship has allowed me to apply knowledge that I’ve learnt during the course into real life situations. The end point assessment project has enabled me to showcase my new skills by designing a solution to a business need. Amy Law – HR Advisor, Core Highways
