Hi, looking for a L2 course that includes the assessment, like a weekend away that gives you some skills and drills and by the end of it you have the qual, cheers
Looking for a good accredited course!

BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
You do mean an “bushcraft” course, right?
Personally my mind boggles at the idea that a “qualification” in bushcraft can be conferred via just a two day course.

I think a Level 2 course is GCSE A-C sort of level as well. The idea that such a level of understanding of bushcraft can be taught and assessed in a weekend is farcical.
Been doing it for years and am still a complete amateur.
Kahuna - If you're new to bushcraft an just wanting to learn via a course, I'd try something like a Frontier Bushcraft beginners course and go from there. If you want a qualification to go on to teach people with, a weekend is nowhere near enough and you'll be a danger to both yourself and any potential students.
If you let us know what it is you're looking for beyond just a L2 course, and why you're looking for it, we might be able to give a bit more guidance.
The identical question was asked a couple of weeks ago on the BushcraftUK Reddit. Different username, but that doesn’t signify much.
I reckon we wait to hear some more details from Kahuna before investing time offering advice. It is kind of an odd question.

Just go on a course and if you do get a certificate use it for getting the fire going. Paul Kirtley is good if you in the UK. A bit more expensive but if you want quality he is your go to. Come back and tell us how you get on. DD x
I would also recommend listening to Paul Kirtley’s latest podcast episode with Jamie Dakota and Adam Logan. It’s a really good conversation, exploring how they became bushcraft instructors through fairly different paths.
