Hi,
What qualifications or qualification do you need to become a qualified bushcraft instructor in the UK? Assuming that I'm going to be instructing in a commercial sense for financial gain to a wide variety of client groups 18+ and under 18.
I realise 'Bushcraft' is a broard church catch all definition for a wide variey of skills. So to assist on that I theoretically as an instructor want to offer my version of core outdoor/ bushcraft skills:
Basic fire prep and fire lighting ( non friction techniques)
Basic campcraft.
Camping out using Tarps.
Shelter construction using natural materials.
Safe use of a knife.
Knife selection.
Basic knife cuts.
Basic knots.
Outdoor cooking.
Basic plant recognition.
Water collection and purification.
Basic Navigation.
Basic emergency procedures.
Identifying and treatment of Hypothermia / hyperthermia.
I'm going to conduct this type of activity in broadleaf woodland no more than 250m ASL in the UK. My theroretical course offering will run in all 12 months of the year.
Thanks in advance for your condsidered answers.
John
