Fancy a career as an Outdoor Instructor? Read On

There are many courses around that offer to turn you into an outdoor instructor in 3 months and for about £9000. Here at Wet and High Adventures we do it differently. You can work through our scheme whilst holding down a full time job and it is only £4800. (Monthly Payments accepted with no interest)

We offer a two year scheme of 24 days a year (usually taken as 1 weekend a month but it really is up to you). You then just need to get out and about to gather even more experience.

Our aim in the first year is to expose you to a number of Outdoor Pursuits so you can see which activities you wish to pursue further. In the second year we will mentor you through any Instructor Qualifications you wish to take.

We try to run these days as consecutive days as this gives us the most time and usually they are weekends (but this can be down to you). You will have email and phone access to one mentor throughout the scheme but see at least 3 different instructors in the first 12 months.
