"I Just wanted to send a slightly belated thank you to yourself and all the team from last week on my Duke of Edinburgh's Award Open Gold Expedition. I don't know whether my mind is now blocking out the slightly low points (!) but from what I can remember now, I had a brilliant week. We are all so proud of ourselves but it couldn't have been done without all your support, fab organisation and great food! I met some brilliant people who I'm sure I will keep in contact with and the week itself, I'll always remember.

Please pass on the thanks to all the 'supervisors' (: and once again thank you to yourself, who did make the week a very enjoyable experience. I will definitely be recommending you guys to anyone who asks!"
 

“We would like to thank you and your team for looking after my daughter. The whole event was so well organised. She enjoyed all aspects of her stay and expedition. We will obviously call you first when she is ready to do her Gold award expedition. Thank you all once again for giving her a great time and lovely memories.”
 

"I have had my certificate come through for the Basic Expedition Leadership course, and now that is complete, I would like to express my thanks to you for the effort you put into that course and the way, as students, we were treated, adult like (that may seem obvious, but that is not always the case with some people who instruct, for some there is a power buzz).

Once again Dave, many thanks, I really enjoyed it and feel some sense of achievement."
 

“I have personally experienced this course and completed my BELA (Basic Expedition Leadership as it is now). I cannot recommend this qualification or delivery agent more heartily. It was refreshing to learn from somebody who not only did this for a living, but also has a passion for best practice. As an outdoor professional I can now understand the importance of the effective interpersonal skills Dave and his team instil into the course, alongside quality outdoor content. It is also important to mention that over the last few years when commenting to colleagues the relevance of the course, it would seem Dave's unique delivery style and attention to detail has equipped me with far more than a certificate.”
 

“To say that I enjoyed the course is an understatement. I would like to express my thanks to the course staff for an enjoyable course and have walked away from the course having learnt many outcomes (too many to list). The training was delivered in a relaxed adult style.”
 

“Thanks for everything over the last 5 days. It topped my expectations on a crazy level! I would recommend it to anyone and my DofE expedition has given me so many memories and I've made a lot of new friends who I am determined to keep in contact with, both in my team and out! You have an awesome team as well so please pass my thanks onto them. You may even have to deal with me again if I decide to do Gold with you!!”
 

“A rewarding experience meeting a variety of professionals and making new friends.”
 

“It was a well rounded informative course at times very humorous with a good group of people with similar ambitions. It provided a good learning environment for all levels and ages and coached by knowledgable course leaders. Thank you.”
 

“Very well organised course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Many thanks : )”
 

“An interesting and varied style of delivery easily achieved the learning outcomes.”
 

“This was a well run course which provided a great deal of essential information and practical instruction with a good supply of handouts to enable you to go over the various teaching elements at a later date.”
 

“I had all the information I needed in the pre course information and instructions. I felt that the course was really well organised. The regular emails and reminders of future sessions were also really useful."
