Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Think you're going about this the right way as eventually (like it or not) I can see all Bushie type courses being regulated.being accredited,Q'd, insured etc makes sense and will offer your prospective customers a level of confidence.
In conjunction with the admin skills & drive I know you already possess I'm confident you will be a success in your new career.
I have not been able to get on the blog yet - but it sounds interesting!
I agree that it looks like all Bushy courses will eventually be hogtied by regulation, accredation etc - but first a real NGB needs to arise that folk can recognise as the "one true voice" and as Bushyness is so varied I cannot see this happening in the very near future.
As to insurance - that is easily and cheaply available to instructors already and I would not think of going on a course with anyone purporting to be a professional instructor who could not show their insurance to you.
I have been an outdoor skills instructor for more years than I care to think about (started when I was just 18!)and have amassed a fair bit of paper over the years - at a great financial cost in the way of courses, assessments etc - and some certs I hold are not worth the paper they are printed on as the "assessing body" was not nationally recognised (a good software prog can churn out fancy looking certs for pennies)... even as I was handed my "Mountain Survival Instructor" cert I knew that it was not worth anything realy!
The National Governing Body certificates I hold (ML Summer, BCU level 4 coach etc) mean little without current logbook details or continuous proffessional development courses to back them up and the courses themselves have changed so much since I took the assessments as to be completely different courses!
Certification may be the way things are going but although they may inspire confidence in your abilities for your clients the only ones that realy mean anything in real terms are your insurance certificates!
Have fun with your training though
