NNAS TUTOR AWARD FROM THE BUTCHERS ARMS (PONTSTICILL)

24/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Congratulations to the two Mountain Leaders who completed the course yesterday and thanks to The Butchers Arms in Pontsticill for hosting the event and for providing local area advice. Good luck in the future when they start to deliver NNAS courses.

Thanks to Helen Menhinick of Bryn Walking for assisting with the course.

The course is for aspiring and current NNAS training providers or for anyone who would like to learn more about teaching navigation.

The next scheduled course is March 25th but I'm happy to offer courses on request.

In 2016 the NNAS launched the NNAS Tutor Award, a course for Providers and their Course Directors who teach navigation. It is a recognition that just because one can personally navigate it doesn’t follow that one can teach it!
​
Who is the Tutor Award for?
All Registered Navigator Award Providers and their Course Directors have attended this CPD-accredited course in order to offer the Navigator awards.
The NNAS Tutor Award is suitable for people 16yrs+ only.
Successful completion of the NNAS Tutor Award will also enable (after approval by NNAS) those without a higher hill or mountain walking qualification, but with experience and interest in the outdoors, to help teach on a Bronze award under the guidance of a registered NNAS Course Director.  They will be called “Bronze Tutors”.  In this case, once the NNAS Tutor Award is completed, an application by email to the NNAS must be made and approved before that person assists on Bronze courses.
The course is a mixture of indoor and outdoor practical sessions and offers the opportunity for candidates to discuss their own methodology as well as learning new techniques from others.
