An interesting day with Chris from Beyond the Edge taking the NNAS Tutor award course.
Launched in 2016, the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) Tutor Award was created to recognise that just because one can personally navigate, it doesn’t follow that one can teach it.
On this one day course, you’ll look at different methods for teaching navigation to beginners from simple games to learning strategies. You’ll see how a Bronze Navigator Award course can be delivered and learn more about the Navigator Awards and the NNAS itself.
Successful completion of the NNAS Tutor Award will also enable (after approval by NNAS) those without a higher hill or mountain walking qualification, but with experience and interest in the outdoors, to help teach on a Bronze award under the guidance of a registered NNAS Course Director.
The course is a mixture of classroom and practical sessions and offers the opportunity for candidates to discuss their own methodology as well as learning new techniques from others.
Successful completion of the NNAS Tutor Award also counts for one CPD (continued personal/professional development) point for qualified members of Mountain Training Association (MTA), Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) and British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML).
