Who Are These Courses For?

Why Equal Adventure?

Practical Training. Real Environments. Inclusive Adventure.

Build the confidence, practical skills and knowledge to deliver more inclusive outdoor experiences.

Our in-person courses bring learning into the real world. Through practical sessions, discussion, demonstration and hands-on experience, you will explore how people can participate in outdoor activities in different ways — and how instructors, educators and organisations can create the right conditions for meaningful participation.

At Equal Adventure Developments, we focus on what is possible.

With more than 30 years of experience in inclusive outdoor adventure and active lifestyles, our training combines practical experience, inclusive thinking, technical knowledge and real-world delivery.

Depending on the course, learning can include:

Disability & Inclusion - Develop a practical understanding of disability and inclusive practice.

Participation - Explore what enables or prevents someone from taking part.

Communication - Develop approaches that support choice, confidence and understanding.

Function - Look at what a person can do and how this can influence activity participation.

Equipment - Explore adaptive equipment and resources that can help remove barriers.

Activity Adaptation - Consider how activities, environments and approaches can be changed.

Safety & Risk - Develop confidence in making appropriate decisions while maintaining safe practice.

Confidence & Independence - Understand how good support can help people become more confident and self-sufficient.

Each and every Seminar is unique, as each is tailored to the requirements of the participants.

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Course

The Emergency First Aid at Work course is usually run over 1 day. EA states that the times can be changed, or the course can possibly be run over several evenings if there is a specific training need. The course is continuously assessed by the tutor during the day.
