Summer Training Courses 2012

We are pleased to announce our schedule of Junior Summer Training Courses 2012. This is our 40th year in operation, (founded in 1972).

Our courses are different from every other childrens Summer activity.  They offer a skills based program that includes an internationally recognised series of qualifications leading eventually to an instructor qualification, which can provide a passport for exciting adventures, international travel and a career in the outdoors. 

Many hundreds of our students have worked abroad having qualified using our structure.  We are delighted to offer our excellent service and superb value for money.  We hope to see you this year and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Course Structure:

Students are assigned to groups according to their age, as years of experience has taught us that the children get the most out of the course when training with their peers.  4-6 years, 7-10 years, 11-14 years and 15-18 years.  Within these groups the students are subdived according to their experience so that everybody is accomodated.  We provide all essential gear for the course, boats and buoyancy aids, while wetsuits and wind breaker jackets can be hired by the week.  In addition our instructors are very experienced, we have a modern clubhouse facility and we are FULLY INSURED.  We have an excellent safety record and pride ourselves on our superb reputation. 

With exceptional value on offer through multiple bookings, why not give your child the experience of a lifetime and open the door to a life of fun and aventure in 2012.
