We’ve just released our new Impact Report for 2022-23! Take a look here.

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. If you are looking to earn a formal qualification in walk leading, click here to view the Level 2 Award in Walk Leading.
