Qualifications

The goal of outdoor qualifications is to promote high standards of supervision and leadership so that both enjoyment and safety are enhanced, without compromising either the sport or the participation of others. They are valid throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland and are recognized by the Adventure Activity Licensing Authority (AALA).

Real Adventure works closely with providers of NGB courses and we work on many of their courses, training and assessing people every year. Please get intouch if you would like to find out more or come on a course.
