The aim of the Learning in the Outdoors suite of qualifications is to enhance the social, physical, creative, cultural and personal development of young people and adults holistically through experiential learning in the outdoors.
The qualifications support the aspiration for an active, healthy and inclusive Wales, where learning in the outdoors provides a common platform for participation, fun, achievement and employment, increasing the understanding of the environment, the Welsh language and the cultural heritage and future of Wales.
They provide opportunities for more young people in Wales to achieve their potential through outdoor activities and learning, and gain a valued and accredited qualification that facilitates progression.
These qualifications meet the needs of the Welsh Government’s Curriculum for Wales across all areas of learning and experience and provide ¼, ½, 1 and 2 GCSE equivalencies for progression to higher education and/or used to measure school or college performance.
