- CASE STUDY: Career Progress - Andy McKenzie "I left the Navy and came on the instructor course at Outdoor Adventure. It was exactly what I was looking for as I was nervous about a career change and the course gave me so much more self confidence and a totally new set of skills to use in a completely different line of work. The time at Outdoor Adventure left me in no doubt this was what I wanted to do as my new career. I worked my way up from being a new instructor at an adventure centre to gaining a top management position 12 years later at one of the most well known Outdoor Centres in the UK!"

- CASE STUDY: Career Progress - Si Dolphin ""This course was the perfect way to start a career in the outdoor industry. It gave me a thorough grounding in many aspects of professional instruction and the appropriate skills to coach confidently and with an effective manner. I went from having no experience or qualifications to a season abroad with Neilson Active, coaching equivalent instructor courses for Cornwall College, setting up and running an injured Veterans Surf charity in Bude, leading an Alpine kayak expedition and enjoying a busy career as a freelance instructor in Cornwall and Devon. 19 years ago, Outdoor Adventure opened a door for me that has proved to be the most enjoyable and satisfying period of my life."
