Which pathway (Degree, Apprenticeship, NGB Short Course, Vocational Training) do you see giving the best opportunities for career development? Please explain your answer fully.
-
Degree
-
-
I think a degree is useful, but not necessarily an outdoor one - in fact most 'normal' degrees are better.
-
Combination
-
they all have their merits, the outcome hinges on the level of coaching and mentoring they receive to help personal growth and development
-
-
Degree & NGB's
Aspiring to NGB awards - no one should leave an outdoor course expecting to get employed without basic canoe, climbing and leading groups on walks tickets eg BCU 2/3*/FSRT/UKCCL1 and MTUK - CWA LLA/hill skills.
A degree can only be seen as a base level and needs to be supplemented by NGB courses and ongoing CPD.
I think my preferred would be a degree gained after some time doing NGB short course/ gaining experience.
-
Apprenticeship, then Degree & NGB's
-
I did a combination of vocational training followed by a NVQ3 / apprenticeship followed by a degree and it's all worked out well for me
- Enter industry via apprentice/vocational route2 get range of NGB via any route
- after a few years look at mature student/part time teaching/youth work qualification with a view to career development
