BTEC and NCFE Units
At Rock and River we are able to offer colleges an excellent opportunity. We can deliver all the units associated with outdoor education for BTEC and NCFE qualifications, which some colleges are not always well resourced to deliver. Our courses are delivered on either a daily basis or a one week (5 day) residential.
Rock and River has been delivering Public Services and Sports Units since 1999 and currently enjoys close relationships with colleges all over the country. The education team at Rock and River is made up of experienced and qualified professionals many of who hold P.G.C.E, Cert Ed and National Governing Body Awards (Outdoor Pursuits).
We run BTEC and NCFE Units in the following:
- Land-based outdoor and adventurous activities
- Water-based outdoor and adventurous activities
- Map and Navigation
- Expedition Skills
- Teamwork and Communication
At Rock and River we are committed to delivering affordable courses without compromising on quality and we have developed a number of options to allow colleges more flexibility when booking.
Our full packages provide an opportunity to complete your specialist outdoor units quickly and professionally with the minimum of fuss. We cover all practical and theoretical elements using fully qualified/experienced staff with all specialist equipment supplied.
Benefits include:
- A 5 day, full board residential including bunkhouse accommodation and catered meals
- All specialist equipment supplied (as required)
- All practical and theoretical work undertaken

Practical-only packages provide another option for colleges that have the expertise to deliver the theory, but lack the resources/qualifications to deliver the practical elements. These can often be delivered over a shorter period (approx 3days) and this is reflected in the price.
There are also many other options that allow us to tailor-make a course that suits your needs and budget.
