Programmes:
The simplest and most often cost effective way of conducting fieldwork at an FSC Centre is by booking one of our fixed length programmes. Full details of each programme can be found on our website in the Outdoor Classroom section.

Bespoke courses
The FSC prides itself on being flexible so if you cannot find an FSC programme to meet your requirements then contact us to tell us what you would like. We will work with you to plan and deliver your own fully flexible course.

• Check our risk assessments, if required.

All of our Centres have been awarded the Quality Badge by The Council for Learning Outside the Classroom. Each Centre achieved the badge by demonstrating that they consistently deliver high quality teaching and learning experiences and manage risk effectively. This means that you will do not have to assess them and therefore have to complete less paperwork for your local authority. If you still wish to view our risk assessments please contact us.
