The NNAS has launched the NNAS Tutor Award, which is a course for Providers and their instructors who teach navigation. It is a recognition that just because one can personally navigate it doesn’t follow that one can teach it!

​

Who are the courses for?

All current award providers and their staff are required to attend this CPD-accredited course in order to continue to offer NNAS Navigator awards.

​

The NNAS Tutor Award is suitable for people 16yrs+ only.

​

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.  They will be called “Bronze Tutors”.  In this case, once the NNAS Tutor Award is completed, an application by email to the NNAS must be made and approved before that person assists on Bronze courses.

​

The course is a mixture of indoor and outdoor practical sessions and offers the opportunity for candidates to discuss their own methodology as well as learning new techniques from others.
