Lagganlia offers a comprehensive programme aimed at those who are seriously considering a career in outdoor education and want to develop their teaching experience in various adventurous activities so that they can progress from basic instructing skills to running sessions at a high professional standard; Towards the end of their placement, it is expected that students will be able to take on the role and responsibilities of a group instructor for some activities.

Student Instructors join us for a 12-month placement, during which they have the opportunity to work alongside our experienced staff.  We provide training opportunities customised to the specific needs of each student and we expect students to work towards a Scottish Vocational Qualification (level 3), in addition to collecting a wide variety of National Governing Body Awards.

We provide full board and accommodation and in return we expect students to commit themselves to work with us for the full 12-month period, including covering some evening duty sessions.

Our usual intake onto this course is at the end of August each year; however places may be available at other times of the year.
