Schools would rather you had experience and knowledge rather than a grade on a piece of paper though.

I noticed from a Woodland Ways post on Facebook that they have just launched this http://www.woodland-ways.co.uk/book-the-woodlander-128.html
So Certification and endorsement by NCFE makes the woodcraft schools course and subsequent assessment a pseudo qualification?
Woot
I fail to see how you can have a qualification in Bushcraft ;parts of the thing yes
The subject is too expansive.....
just me
Agreed 'Bushcraft' is a very broad church. But it fundamentally seems to have a core group of skills ( fire craft, safe knife usage, shelter building etc) within the British context of bushcraft and these skills seem to form the basis of a lot of commercial Bushcraft course provision.
So if you're offering a base line qualification in the core group of skills is that qualification not relevant?
A parallel might (tenuously admittedly) be medicine.. A very wide ranging subject with a lot of areas of speciality.But with some core principals and plenty of qualifications..
As Shewie said....The Bushcraft School (John Ryder) (Friend of Ray Mears) near Liphook, when I went a few years ago, had a couple of Trainees.
Might be possible that they do a course or know of one.... Any help?

Why does everyone want to be an instructor? Is this a badge that says look I am better than every one?
For me its being able to pick up tips from chaps that have been learning for a lot longer than myself, I cant afford courses, I aim to start at the very bottom, cleaning up and general camp chores(Oooo Hello sailor!) I don't want a school of my own, I don't envisage being a guru, just courses by the back door, my time and effort in return for experience in teaching the subject, and learning as I go, I am hoping to become an entry level assistant, I am learning the skills to pass on to my kids, I have no feeling on the ncfe certification other than I cannot afford it so wont be getting it.

You may wish to follow the 'Forrest Schools' training programme. Widely available and nationally recognised.
I think im gunna revive this topic, its certainly something im interested in not soo much the courses, but doing it as a job i don't suppose any one knows a school or somewhere (or runs one of their own) that has apprenticships or trainee/assistant instructor groups?
Lot of 'Schools' have gone bump, many struggle to fill places so don't think you can rely on this role to pay your mortgage.
Why not start smaller scale with a recognised forest school qualification, Its more satisfying to share knowledge and teach kids and young folk that it is a group of people with huge egos.
