Hmmm, hard not to see this as slightly mercenary attempt to claw in some cash off desperate people. Can't imagine it will give you anything that you couldn't get by posting a few questions on here and asking about.

"Please note: you will need to bring your own mountain bike - in good working order." I don't own a mountain bike and have absolutely no desire to own one of the wretched things. I'm obviously not cut out to be an "outdoor instructor" ;(

Im not sure I quite follow what this advert is getting at. Im wanting to get into outdoor education but £350 would nearly cover an SPA so I will need more convincing. Has anyone been on any of these courses?

I don't get all the negativity on this thread, "£350 including 5 days instruction, meals, accommodation and equipment hire" sounds very reasonable to me. Chris

just because someone spends the cash to get some 'quick' answers it doesn't mean that they'll be advised to take a 'quick' route into being an instructor. When managing centres I've often looked at how long people have taken to build their experience and I wouldn't confuse going on a course like this with expecting to gain qualifications and experience too quickly.
