Safe Courses

All of our activity and learning programmes are operated in accordance with strict operating standards that define the minimum requirements for staff qualifications, supervision arrangements, equipment, facilities and appropriate clothing. Individual activities follow a defined lesson plan and all instructors and staff are regularly observed to ensure they are complying with our safety standards and delivering a quality experience to our students.

Operating standards also extend to cover our off-site programmes, such as excursions, beach visits and field studies groups. All instructors are trained in our detailed ‘off-site procedures’ which cover everything from boarding a coach to systems for remote supervision. All off-site venues are vetted for their suitability before being used, and all groups visiting an off-site venue take a first aid kit and mobile telephone with them.
