FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got questions? We’ve got answers!
Which level of training do I need?
Level 1 is your foundation. Level 2 qualifies you to assist. Level 3 qualifies you to lead your own sessions. Level 4 is for those who go on to train others.
Are your qualifications regulated?
Levels 1 to 3 are Ofqual regulated. Level 4 is accredited by Open Awards. We have been training educators since 2000.
Do I need outdoor experience to start?
No. Most people arrive as teachers, nursery staff or parents. We start from where you are and build your confidence outdoors from there.
How long does it take?
Level 1 takes around three months at your own pace. Levels 2 and 3 combine training days with portfolio work you complete alongside your job.
Can I train online?
Yes. Level 2 Assistant runs fully online, so you can study around work and family. Levels 3 and 4 include time in the woods with a tutor.
What happens after I finish?
Your tutor stays reachable. You keep access to the Archimedes literature and models, and you join a network of practitioners running sessions worldwide.
