Are you keen to start your environmental education career?
Join our team on our Trainee Tutor Apprenticeship programme!
What does a Trainee Tutor opportunity involve?
Our Trainee Tutors are welcomed onto our Graduate Development Programme which is designed to prepare individuals with the skills and attributes to become Outdoor Education Tutors. During the programme each Trainee Tutor will work towards a nationally recognised Level 3 Outdoor Activity Instructor Apprenticeship qualification.
Alongside your studies, you will build experience working with primary and secondary schools to deliver curriculum-linked activities that will increase students’ understanding of nature and the environment. Following successful completion of this programme, more than 80% of our apprentice tutors go on to be employed as permanent tutors with the Field Studies Council!

This will allow you to learn alongside a different and experienced team while also gaining that essential experience in diverse outdoor environments.
