Information About Our Courses

The awarding body explain that the ‘Level 3 Certificate for Forest School Leaders is a regulated qualification that will enable you to learn how to become a Forest School Leader, how to develop and practice the skills required for employment or career progression within Forest School education’.

You can access the portfolio via this OneDrive folder. You will also receive an email on the first day of your course with this link

Please download the portfolio, saving it to your own files, rather than editing the shared version. We advise that you use an online platform, such as a OneDrive, Google Drive or Drop Box- so that you do not lose your work.

On the first day of your course you will receive one printed unit of the Portfolio, this is for you to use and become familiar with; there is also a pdf version of the portfolio available here which may wish to access to view the Outcomes an Assessment criteria. 

As this is a regulated qualification we have procedures in place that govern how we manage this programme. You can view them here, these will also be in the email you receive on the first day of your course.

These have been ratified by the awarding body, and your course tutor will make you aware of these, and if needed refer to them if the need arises.

The procedures include:

  • Reasonable Adjustment
  • Special Considerations
  • Recognition of Prior Learning
  • Appeals
  • Complaints
  • Malpractice and Maladministration
  • Confirming Identity of Learners
  • Contingency Planning 

You are asked to submit your portfolio as an electronic document. As it is likely to contain a substantial amount of evidence it will be large, and therefore unlikely to be suitable to be emailed. 

We ask that you submit your portfolio as a Microsoft Word document, so that your assessor and Internal Quality Assurer can comment on it. And as such, it is likely that you will need to submit it via an online platform, such as OneDrive, Google Drive or Drop Box. 

Speak to your tutor if you are unsure about how to do this. 

The portfolio submission date will be shared with you on the first day of your course, as well as being available below- in the course dates section. 

You have access to the Facebook group where you can support your peers, as well as benefit from their support, ideas and comments. Feel free to ask questions in the group! If you haven’t already, you can request to join via this link.

Throughout the programme you can contact your tutor/assessor for support. Your tutor will share their contact details with you. 

There is also a series of monthly webinars, where theories, units and progress will be discussed. The dates and times of these will be shared via the Facebook group.
