Walk Leader Training

For the Public

Active Norfolk/For the Public/Building Activity in our Communities/Walk Leader Training

Our Walk Leader training modules are a set of best practice guidelines for anyone hoping to lead guided walks. They will take you through a series of modules which will prepare you for setting up and running walks effectively. At the end, you’ll be tested on what you’ve learned and will earn a certificate to show you’ve completed the modules.

Please note, this is a best practice guide to take you through the basics and prepare you for leading walks. To build upon your knowledge more, check out The Ramblers’ Walk Leadership Foundations course.

Who are the walk leader training modules for?

These modules are for anyone who wishes to organise and deliver short led walks in their local community.

How long does it take?

This course is self-paced and lasts approximately 30 minutes – 1 hour, but there is nothing to stop you leaving and finishing at your convenience. You can take time out in between completing modules.

Accessibility

We recommend you complete the modules on a desktop or laptop computer.

The course covers:

  • Benefits of walking
  • Encouraging people to walk
  • Planning your route
  • Risk management
  • On the Day
  • Promoting your walks
  • FAQ’s

There is a short online assessment at the end of the course.

If you have any questions in regards to leading a walk or the training please contact Active Norfolk by emailing [email protected].
