Had a brilliant 2-day Learn to Lead Trad course with Beyond the Edge. Alex was really knowledgeable, friendly and a great instructor. Learned loads and came away feeling much more confident leading trad. Would definitely recommend!

My wife and I recently attended a first aid course with Beyond the Edge, and it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. Caroline led the course brilliantly. She was knowledgeable, welcoming and engaging, and explained everything clearly while keeping the training practical, interesting and easy to remember. The relaxed and supportive atmosphere made it comfortable to participate, practise the skills and ask questions. I left feeling much more knowledgeable and confident about responding to an emergency. It was also a pleasure meeting Chris, who made me feel very welcome, and our certificates were sent through promptly after the course. I would highly recommend Beyond the Edge to anyone looking for professional, practical and genuinely enjoyable first aid training.

Just completed my RCI Training with Beyond the Edge, and my nerves were put at ease instantly. Our course leaders Alex, James and Chris ran the training in a very relaxed manner, no question was a stupid question, and they are genuinely exited to encourage new people into the outdoor world, and i have left with a full suitcase of new skills, knowledge and enjoyment. Great company to start your outdoor qualification journey with!

I attended a hill skills course with Beyond the Edge. Delivery was at a sensible steady pace, a few hours in the ‘classroom’ with nav essentials then out to put these into practice and further skills like using emergency shelters, compass work & pacing. A lot covered in 2 days. Thoroughly recommend this course if you’re wanting to get more from your days out in the hills. Thank you Beyond the Edge.

Friendly staff and great location. I was made to feel totally safe and at ease with the whole two day training course and I was worried being a middle aged female. Would definitely go back to complete my assessment with Beyond the Edge.

Lowland Leader Training After an amazing weekend of training with Chris (Instructor) and our group, I have so much newfound knowledge to absorb, practise, and utilise. The knowledge shared was excellent, and the skills were presented in a clear, easy-to-absorb format. I would highly recommend Beyond The Edge. I will be back to complete my First Aid and Lowland Leader Assessment course.

I completed a two day Hill Skills course with Alex leading and Nigel assisting. There were seven of us with a range of experience and confidence. Alex and Nigel set a lovely tone with it being friendly, relaxed, interesting, and encouraging. We spent a couple of hours both mornings familiarising ourselves with the equipment and testing it out. Then went for a walk that utilised and challenged those skills. Everyone was really friendly and helpful throughout. If you don't know what taking a bearing is, an OS reference, how (or why) to use an emergency shelter, or pacing is, or know the difference between a path or a right of way on a map, then this course is for you.

Just finished an HML training course with Chris & Phil at Beyond The Edge in Bamford, Peak District. The course was absolutely amazing and fantastic & extremely enjoyable, albeit, full on. I personally have quite a lot of experience, but they take you to another level with regards to navigation. But it’s not only nav that was excellent, preparation, leader training with groups and much more ! All really superb. I’d highly recommend using Beyond The Edge, they do what they say they will do, and more , and in a very friendly manner. Need I say more, a fully satisfied customer.

I’m very now attended several courses at Beyond the Edge My most recent was the Hill and Moorland leader training. Another excellent course delivered in a relaxed atmosphere and at a pace everyone was happy with, Nothing is too much hassle for Chris and his team. They are all extremely knowledgeable and willing to depart all that information and help you achieve your goal. The course is a fantastic mix of classroom work and practical work out in the hills The aftercare and help extended on completion of the course is second to none and really prepares you for your assessment I would very much recommend Beyond the Edge for outdoor pursuit courses from beginner through to expert. I know you won’t be disappointed and they have a terrific biscuit barrel
