Job description

Outdoor Activity Instructor Apprenticeships

Gain industry qualifications. Develop your skills with hands‑on experience. Enrich people’s lives with incredible adventures.

About the Programme

Our popular apprenticeship programme equips you for a career in the great outdoors.

We have been providing activities from our adventure hub in the New Forest National Park in Hampshire since 2003, with over 20 years of 5‑star outdoor instruction experience.

Working your way towards the Level 3 Outdoor Activity Instructor Apprenticeship, you will learn to deliver both land and water based activities to people seeking the best experience.

You’ll explore rivers, woodland and more, learning from some of the best instructors in the industry.

Who Should Apply?
  • You’ve just finished college or a similar qualification and you’re looking for a new challenge
  • You’re working full‑time or part‑time but you’re ready to try something new
  • You love spending time in the great outdoors
  • You’re good with people
  • You’re keen to learn from industry experts
  • You want to deliver experiences to a variety of customers
  • You want a range of industry qualifications under your belt
  • You want to feel fully prepared to develop your career in the outdoors
  • You’re 18+ years old with a good level of fitness in the water and on land

Please note, due to our rural location and limited public transport, a full driving licence is highly desirable. You must be able to get to us every day.

Qualifications You’ll Work Towards
  • British Canoeing Paddle Explore Award
  • British Canoeing Canoe Personal Performance Award
  • British Canoeing Touring Personal Performance Award
  • British Canoeing Sea Kayak Personal Performance Award
  • British Canoeing SUP Personal Performance Award
  • British Canoeing Paddlesport Safety and Rescue Course
  • High Ropes ERCA instructor award
  • Low Ropes Training
  • Archery GB Instructor Award
  • Bushcraft Training
What Happens After the Apprenticeship?

Upon completion you’ll be ready to start or develop a career as an outdoor instructor. You may also transition into a seasonal instructor role at New Forest Activities, giving you immediate experience.

Some apprentices choose to relocate post‑graduation; we can help with CV preparation and references.
