Welcome to
Cornwall Outdoors

Cornwall Outdoors has been delivering outdoor training courses for over 30 years covering activities such as climbing, mountaineering, sailing, kayaking and canoeing. Various courses are available and include professional instructor training for those seeking a career in the outdoors; top-up courses for those already qualified and who want to upgrade their qualifications; and short courses for teachers and youth workers wishing to use the outdoors with their young people.

We have on our staff team a range of highly qualified coaches and instructors who have been working in the outdoor industry for many years with all kinds of client groups including young people, the military, the youth service and corporate clients. We are therefore very attuned to the needs of employers and can give sound advice on career progression to course delegates. In some instances we are able to offer employment opportunities to those with suitable qualifications and experience.

We are uniquely placed to offer a range of courses and we take full advantage of the fantastic coastline, rivers, crags and moors within Cornwall and west Devon to deliver the main content of our courses. For the specialist mountain work we travel to our Celtic cousins in Wales, particularly Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons.

Sign up for one of our courses and you are guaranteed a professional service delivered by friendly, experienced and highly motivated staff with a passion for the outdoors.
