Throughout the course we will focus on key transferable skills, identifying and developing them through fun, practical, nature-inspired activities, such as den building and fire lighting. A warm and welcoming environment provides the opportunity to raise confidence and allows space and time for reflection to support next steps. Home learning will also give a chance to develop key digital skills with friendly support on hand!
