Coaches, Trainers and Assessors: Outdoor Instructor Training
During the Summer Land & Wave helps thousands of people have adventures in Dorset, Wales and the Alps – we get really, really busy.
During the Winter Land & Wave trains Outdoor Instructors. We run a full time BTEC course in Outdoor Education and from November – March run an incredible Outdoor Instructor Training course.
What makes our training stand out? Our coaches, trainers and assessors; our amazing full time staff and the brilliant specialists that visit us.

Land & Wave does NOT rely on 2 or 3 people to try and teach everything on our courses; we know that people need to be taught by specialist, knowledgeable, passionate instructors and coaches – the best in the business in fact.
Working with more than 15 coaching and training professionals over 15 weeks of professional training means you have LOTS of different coaching styles, personalities and decades of accumulated experience to learn from.
What makes our training really stand out is the number and the quality of the excellent staff that work with us to make sure our courses are the best we can possibly deliver.
As a trainee you benefit from a huge variety of teaching styles and techniques which will help you learn and enjoy learning.
