This assessment follows on from our Level 2 course.

What will happen on the assessment?

You will arrive in the woods just like before but this time you will set up camp with the Wildway team. Once you are set up and ready one of our instructors will start to guide you through your assessment. There is no need to panic or stress about the bushcraft assessment there will be plenty of time for you to ask questions and get any last minute advice or recap anything your not 100% sure of.

The assessment criteria are all covered on our Foundation in Bushcraft Skills and Wilderness Living Course – Level 2. There will not be any questions about anything you did not cover when you attended the course.
