Suitable for those with some previous navigation experience, this three-day course combines the Bronze and Silver Awards, so that the Bronze training is covered on the first day, with the Silver training and assessment on the second and third days respectively.
NNAS Awards are ideal for DofE supervisors, DofE Bronze award candidates, teachers and leaders who either do not hold national governing body awards, or are developing skills towards them (e.g. Lowland Leader, Mountain Leader), leisure walkers, photographers, horse riders, cyclists or anyone who works in lowland countryside. Some map reading experience is required to attend this course as is a degree of personal fitness.
We are proud to have been running NNAS courses for the past eight years and are recognised as one of the region’s leading providers.
Learning is informal and relaxed, with plenty of practical experience out in the South Downs, within a small group of up to 8 people. We cover around 6 to 8 miles each day, following paths across farmland, valleys, riversides, woodland, hills and moorland in the Sussex countryside.
Learning Outcomes

Duration: Three full days (typically 09.30-16.30, (dates from October to February (GMT) will include an element of night navigation on Day 2 so will have a slightly later start and finish time).
Location: South Downs
