Welcome to Step-Out, a Community Interest Company and the home of outdoor learning and experiences. For over 16 years Sarah Robertshaw, APIOL has been working with children and adults in the outdoors using the natural environment as a tool to inspire people. Coming initially from a youthwork and counselling background Sarah turned her skills to development training, teambuilding and then bushcraft and Forest School. Now, as an OCNWM recognised Training Centre, Sarah and her top team deliver Forest School Practitioner Qualifications and Challenging Behaviour Awards to adult participants and a range of accredited vocational certificates to students. Acknowledged by the John Muir Trust as a provider of the JMA, join the Step-Out team for forest school, mountain biking,bushcraft experiences and training, person centred counselling, outdoor therapy and corporate days/courses in Kent and the Midlands - live life, step-out!

Problems in the office? A range of programmes especially created to challenge and develop teams from the work environment. These can be delivered as fun 'get-to-know-your-colleague-days' through to more rigorous and extended team survival courses.
