Bushcraft qualifications have seen a surge in take-up over the last few years, largely driven by the increasing popularity of bushcraft. Bushcraft is now taught in a wide variety of settings, from outdoor activity centres, campsites, schools and colleges through to youth groups such a Scouts, Cadets and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. And it makes sense that these organisations, and the people who make use of them, or indeed send their children to them, want to see that the people delivering the training are competent to do so. Bushcraft qualifcations and awards are a simple way to recognise that competence. Based on the North Downs in Kent, Jack Raven Bushcraft has been delivering bushcraft qualifications accredited by the Institute for Outdoor Learning since 2013 and Gary has been an IOL assessor since 2019.
