Ramblers Online Training Library
\nYou can access any training courses that are relevant to your volunteering role in the Ramblers online training library, and some of these will be mandatory for your volunteering role. You’ll need to set up a My Ramblers Account to access training.
\nYou will also need to be added to the Ramblers system as a volunteer so you are able to access the online training. Please request this from our Chairperson.

If you are new to leading walks with C&B, there are two mandatory online walk leadership modules for you to complete:
\nWalk Leadership Foundations Listen to experienced walk leaders about what makes a great walk and get tips on how to plan and map your route. See the Youtube Walk Leadership Foundations introductory guide.
\nPreventing and Managing Incidents Here you will find out how to minimise the risk of an incident when you’re leading a walk. See the Youtube Preventing and Managing Incidents introductory guide.
\nThese modules would be beneficial for existing walk leaders but are not mandatory.
