Before I started training with The Outdoor Education Consultants, I felt bored and unsatisfied with my life. I had achieved professionally what I had set out to do, and was looking for a new challenge and adventure in life. I achieved a personal freedom, and satisfaction I had found was missing from my life. I started to feel personally more engaged with the outside world and other people. I rediscovered my passion for learning, and self development. I became hungry to learn and live life outside my comfort zone. I believe this to be a because of how the trainers with TOEC, engage you on an individual level, allowing you to learn and grow the best way for you. If you want to just learn the theory or being proficient in book work, TOEC are not the guys for you. If you want to understand the principles and their application, allowing you to problem solve and have the confidence to enjoy the great outdoors whilst sharing that passion with others. If you want to grow as an individual whilst having fun. Come join the family that is TOEC. Once you study with them, your more than just a number, you become Family! These guys go above and beyond to see you succeed. TOEC not only took the time to understand my personal goals, and circumstances surrounding my desire to study. They have gone above and beyond, they assist in helping find you work, offer extra tutoring, and will do whatever they can to see you succeed. I love how the team is easy to talk to, and always available to answer any questions. If you have a suggestion on how they can grow, they appreciate that too. Never felt like anyone is unapproachable. As a result, I now feel confident to not only work in the outdoor industry, but to share my love of the outdoors with others. I also feel more confident to go off on my own expeditions and know that I have the skills and tools to make the best of every opportunity life throws my way. When it comes to your education and individual growth, if you want to be more than just a number, with just another piece of paper. Than there is NO other option than The Outdoor Education Consultants.

Before I started Outdoor Rec training with TOEC I found progressing into the industry to be difficult. TOEC made me believe in my ability and skills whilst encouraging me to problem solve and apply what I had learnt. Since completing training I have a new found confidence that has enabled me to progress in my workplace. I would highly recommend TOEC to anyone looking for flexible but quality training solutions. They provided useful and relevant information and encouraged me to pursue my passion of working in the outdoors.​

I spent over 10 years working in a totally unrelated officebased career, and was feeling restless and unfulfilled. I was very keen to move into Outdoor Education / Recreation, however was simply not in a position to be able to take 6+ months off to retrain. TOEC's online learning model gave me the flexibility to complete the course at my own pace, meaning I could continue to work full time while chipping away at my qualifications. With a wide range of electives, plenty of practical training dates throughout the year, and a knowledgeable and supportive team ready to answer any questions throughout the self-led theory units, TOEC made finishing my Cert III easy. I couldn't be happier with the decision I made, and when it came time to start my Cert IV, TOEC were the obvious choice. I would highly recommend TOEC's courses - whether you're brand new to the industry, or simply wanting to add another unit of competency to your repertoire, TOEC has a solution for you.

I was seeking the outdoor qualifications and struggled to find a provider who cared for students and worked with the student. I have completed many courses and training through TOEC I have learnt so much more indepth knowledge of not just the training but of the industry and the people you meet and work with. I started to believe I could do more and be more and help others more! E.g. Once I experienced Outdoor Rec I feel involved and confident in the field of outdoor activities, I am able to run activities with confidence and share my knowledge and training with others. I could not recommend a better training group than TOEC. I love the training and cannot express how great their team is at working with clients and students. They go above and beyond to help and train, with the patience of saints. The high level of expertise and knowledge is unbeatable in my books. I look forward to continual activity days and training with TOEC. ​

Prior to training I was working in the Health and fitness industry. Since starting training I’m achieving lots. Have been able to really expand and now developing a business of my own. I have been able to facilitate groups in a wide variety of activities with a lot more confidence. I highly recommend these guys. Strong, professional approach in all that they provide and pass on. It’s a great privilege for me to still be actively involved with them and will continue up skilling. Want the best training then look no further. You won’t regret it.​
