Whats the difference
Between the IOL Bushcraft Competency Certificate (BCC) and the IOL Woodland Skills Leader Certificate (WSL)?
The BCC develops a persons personal skillset, allowing them to gain the confidence & techniques they require to instruct.
The WSL develops a persons instructional ability so that they possess; appropriate activity operating procedures, risk management strategies, group management strategies, and session planning skills.
A 'good' or competent instructor should have a sound personal skillset AND robust instructional ability. If you're aiming to be a good instructor it's not a matter of BCC or WSL, you should ideally do the BCC & then the WSL. This will ensure you are fully able to teach Bushcraft activities safely and effectively.
