“I took a big gamble by joining this course, but it’s honestly been one of the best decisions of my life. The course exceeded my expectations, and I’ve finally found something I’m truly passionate about. The instructors, especially Jon, Polly, Andrew, and Zak, were incredibly supportive, always there to help, and I now consider them friends. This year has been life-changing, and I feel equipped to excel in instructing. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and will always recommend Dynamic to anyone wanting to become an instructor. Thanks for the amazing opportunity and support throughout this journey. I’m excited to potentially work with you all again in the future.”

“My year with Dynamic has exceeded all expectations. I started with a love for the outdoors, hoping to escape the busy PGL environment, and just weeks after completing the course, I’ve already guided a school group up Snowdon and started working at my local climbing wall. The qualifications and experiences I gained have opened so many doors, and I’m excited for what’s next.

The Mountain Leader (ML) training, which I was initially apprehensive about, turned out to be the highlight of my experience. It unlocked a whole new passion for the mountains, and I now feel confident to embark on solo expeditions. A few days before my ML, I reflected on how far I’d come—just a year ago, I was nervous about walking around a nearby lake without a map. Now, I’m planning new adventures!

I’m also incredibly grateful to Dynamic for bringing all the trainees together. I’ve made lifelong friends, and I can’t thank the instructors, Jen, Hayley, and Paul enough for everything this year.”

Thanks again, Dynamic!”

“Stuart and I chose the Dynamic Adventures course as a part of a total career and lifetstyle change. The intensive year long course was perfect for us as it meant we could dedicate 100% of our time to gaining the qualifications and experience needed to create our own venture into the outdoor industry. After completing our year we returned north to set up Take 2 Adventure, a mobile company offering outdoor education and adventure camps to primary schools. We also freelance doing DofE and overseas expeditions.

Joining Dynamic was by far one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences and we have gained the most amazing memories with lifelong friends.”

“After four years of classroom teaching, I wanted to combine my enjoyment of teaching with my love for the outdoors, and was looking for a pathway to gain hands on experience along with qualifications and training, that would make me employable. After researching a number of different companies, I settled on Dynamic Adventures, as it ticked all the boxes and I loved the small scale, family feel of it.

All the team are passionate about making sure that you get the most out of your time. I loved exploring the UK and trying a range of activities, but also the chance to gain work experience with many different groups and in different settings. The training on the course, working with experienced and qualified instructors, and gaining a number of valuable qualifications has meant that in my work now in Asia, I can bring a level of professionalism and experience that is valuable to the companies that I work with.”

“I chose Dynamic Adventures for my one year Outdoor Instructor Course as they offer a perfect balance of outdoor NGB qualifications, from rock and water, to wheels and mountains, something other companies just could not offer. But most importantly, real-world experience with various groups from corporate team building, scouts, pupil referral groups, to disability groups and individual families, allowing me to leave the course having confidence in my instructing abilities.

This gave me a great springboard into the outdoor industry, something that was important to me, due to changing careers in my late 30’s. I left the course and kick-started my outdoor career confidently, with all the necessary tools, and have never looked back.”

“I joined the Dynamic Adventures Outdoor Instructor Training scheme at 18, with knowledge of hill walking but little experience in any other outdoor sports. A year later I finished the course having gained several outdoor qualifications, experienced four new countries and attracted a network of outdoor friendships, up and down the UK. I had trained and assessed DofE students, logged over 70 quality mountain and climbing days, and delivered bespoke outdoor sessions with a wide variety of clients.

More than these measurable outcomes, I left with the confidence I could create a fulfilling career for myself in the outdoor industry.

The Experience and support of the staff team allowed me to discover my strengths, without ignoring me weaknesses. This made me easily employable upon the leaving the course, with a year of varied hands-on experience behind me.

Four years on and I now live in the Scottish Highlands, working for an Outward Bound centre. I continue to learn and build on the immense fundamental training I had. I would not have become the happy outdoor instructor I am, had it not been for Dynamic Adventures.”
