Survival
skills uk -
courses organised by
the School aim to be innovative. The first objective is to create a
wider understanding of nature and to provide essential knowledge to
sustain and save life. The second objective is to have fun learning.
The
body and mind have a unique ability to cope with challenging and arduous
conditions and it is to this end that the school has developed training
to provide not only the knowledge to overcome such conditions, but also
to give confidence to those people for whom the world of adventure is
yet to be discovered. There are infinite opportunities and exciting
experiences to be found in the world's remote regions, from the mountains
to the deserts and the jungles to the Poles - the UK School can provide
the key to open that door.
The
instructors come from a variety of backgrounds, including the British
Armed Forces. They are experienced leaders and have spent extended periods
of time in extreme climates and remote regions throughout the world.
This
training gives you the opportunity to test yourself in one of Britain's
most scenic and demanding locations. You will undertake set mountain,
navigation and search & rescue exercises in addition to advanced
movement on mountains, including climbing and abseiling the "In-Pinn".
Although this
is a "down to earth hands-on" course, it is well within the
capabilities of individuals with a general standard of fitness - the
mental aptitude will come later!
At
no time are delegates left to fend for themselves in dangerous or unpleasant
conditions. The course instructor will be nearby at all times in case
of emergency, and will closely monitor the progress of the group - no
participants will be asked to perform tasks which will cause them fear
or distress.
Training
run annually in the Isle of Skye and are open to anyone over 18 years
of age.

we do accept candidates with basic experience. We have vouchers available
