We’re here to expand your staff’s awareness of the possibilities of bringing elements of learning outdoors in your setting, whether it’s in a school, urban space, park or Early Years Service and we can explore a variety of themes, please email info@forestschoolireland.ie to discuss staff training.

We offer ‘Introduction to Forest School Ethos & Principles‘ courses, Outdoor First Aid (REC2) & Continuous Professional Development trainings for adults.

The Outdoor Teacher online training portal has a host of useful videos providing creative ideas, practical methods and outdoor skills to provide you with the information and ideas you need to get children and groups outdoors safely.
