New Courses This Autumn

As well as our regular proficency and coaching awards we have been working hard to develop and introduce new experience days. Whether its an open canoe journey or a day climbing the Peak District’s grit stone, the upcoming months should have something for everyone. Check out Courses for more info.

!! STOP PRESS !!

LOPC awarded the Quality Badge by the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) for the standard of activity provision delivered to School groups.

What does this mean for Schools using the Centre?

Both Leicester City and Leicestershire County Local Authorities recommend the use of the LOtC Quality Badge to all their Schools Establishments and Groups.
They do not require information from LOtC Badged Providers that duplicates details provided by the Quality Badge Criteria.
(paraphrased from the Outdoor Education Advisers’ Panel website: here)

So the hope is that Schools using the Centre will now have less paperwork to complete before they come!

Licensing & Accreditation

• British Canoe Union (BCU) Approved Centre for Paddlesport activities

• Adventuremark Accreditation
