Rural Skills Vocational Courses

The Weardale Outdoor Centre is an Approved Training Provider under the LANTRA Awards Scheme and BORDA. We are also able to conduct and arrange EASI Courses upon request and now provide ITC first aid courses specifically customised for rural Estate staff. All our instructors are highly competent and have many years experience within their field. In most cases it is now a legal requirement to hold a certificate in basic training or first aid as part of your employment. Employers should take advantage of block booking a course in order to reduce the price per head. All ATV and 4x4 courses fulfill basic insurace purposes and PUWER. 

Please consult the Course Detail Sheets for further information and pricing.
