Professional Development Training
Training Courses at your own venue
All our training courses are carefully prepared learning experiences using a focused learning system with clear goals involving information provision, assimilation and application for reinforcement. With a team of professional practitioners as trainers you can be sure of knowledgeable, practical and up to date information and guidance.

The training needs of your staff can be met most cost effectively on your own site. Courses can be tailored to focus on local needs and issues. All aspects of countryside management are covered. Residential training courses are an inefficient way of spending hard won training budgets. Why train only one when we can train the whole team for only a little bit more?

Project example

Greenstart training programme

Greenstart is a central government initiative linked to Surestart, piloted in the northeast of England. The aim of Greenstart is to promote social participation and active use of the natural environment by parents and pre-school children; improved health and general well-being are key targeted outcomes.

Countryside Management Services [UK] Ltd was commissioned to develop and deliver a programme of training for the new Greenstart leaders. The aim of the programme was to develop skills, knowledge and confidence to deliver activities (and to develop new activities) that involve pre-school children and their parents in use of the natural green space on their doorstep.

The training programme has since been extended and repeated with new leaders in the northeast of England .
