Shane is an amazing trainer and the course has been brilliant! Mark and Shane both offer continued professional support and have a wealth of knowledge. The practical side of the course is well thought out and fun. Shane gives practical demonstration but encourages learning through having a go yourself and is always on hand to answer any questions.
I miss my training with Inspired Forest School because it was totally inspiring - funny that! And so enjoyable. I loved the practical learning the camaraderie with our group, I even enjoyed the assignments... love to research new facts and my phone is competing with my family pics V full of nature photos! Thank you Shane and Mark, my journey continues to travel, learning every day!!
It was hard work 😓 at the time keeping up with dead lines for assignments, but it was the best thing I have done. The children love forest school sessions nearly as much as me, they can’t get enough of exploring the outdoors. Thank you Shane & Mark 😊
I can not recommend Inspired Forest School training enough. Shane and Mark are on hand to help all the way through the training. Shane is truly an amazing inspiring teacher, you can’t help but feed of his passion for Forest School. The course is broken down into manageable sections. I also found it brilliant to be able to see Forest School run in a number of settings.
Shane and Mark are great teachers who are passionate about their roles; they work patiently with practitioners and foster a caring learning environment. Thanks for your excellent leadership.
Quite simply the most amazing experience of my life, learning to use tools, build shelters, tie knots, woodworking, the teaching is impeccable and I would highly recommend Inspired Forest School Training to anyone.
Really enjoyable course - lots of learning by doing - particularly like Fika time. If you want your kids to be kids and learn and appreciate the natural environment then this is for you.
This is the most inspiring course I have attended in 18 years of teaching! Shane is a brilliant course leader and has an excellent knowledge of the natural world and how to teach it to children. This course has given me amazing skills to work with the children at my preschool, and also my own children! I cannot wait to attend more CPD with Inspired Forest School Training
I thoroughly enjoyed my training. It took me out of my comfort zone and enabled me to develop myself as a practitioner and as a person. I now have the confidence to get outside, explore nature and use tools with children and have seen the difference it makes. Can’t thank Shane enough for his support throughout the process and loved meeting new people to share ideas with. All in all a great experience.
The training has provided me with fantastic opportunities. The quality of the experience is enhanced by the diversity of location, access to in-action teaching and a skilled, knowledgeable trainer. would recommend it to anyone.
What a great course. Shane, the instructor was so passionate and informative about the subject. I feel confident taking my own sessions now and really enjoyed being able to see the different settings. Lots of ideas swirling round in my head now and keen to get started!
Inspired Forest School Training really does live up to its name. With an inspiring course (and tutor), I have learned new skills and added another dimension to my teaching. It was lots of fun too! I would highly recommend this course. Thank you Shane.
What a action packed 5 days training! Lots of laughter, have-a-go attitude and practical exercises masterfully supported by an experienced tutor. Can't wait to start trying stuff out on the kids. Thanks Shane
A unique opportunity to gain your Forest School qualifications in a working Forest School environment. Shane is an amazing tutor. Come and see for yourself!
