We   act as practitioners, advisers, and environmental consultants to schools, outdoors pursuits and life-skills advisers to uniformed organisations and individuals wanting to broaden their skills base. We can help you plan your course either local such as at Asheldham or further afield. 

The breadth and depth of experience in the expedition world has covered thirty-five years and includes polar Arctic and sub-Arctic work in Greenland, and long-range wilderness and mountaincraft in Iceland and Norway. HUNTER’s role in working with industry includes an advisory scheme for management involving setting up real-time training both in theory and practical based projects, and outdoor pursuits based leadership, teamwork, and communications-skills courses.

We have staff on the HUNTER Team who are qualified teachers, some with many years of experience in field-study and teaching from KS2 – KS5. One Team are specialists in educational visits safety and can deliver school-based training to teachers and Management Teams. HUNTER staff have led over 250 school residential visits and in excess of 2,500 day-based visits.

HUNTER has been involved in training personnel from some of the country’s largest companies and corporations. Our Team is utterly committed to working with managers to enable their staff or youth to receive the absolute best quality training. Whether in the remote glacial deserts of central Iceland, a rock face in England, or the forests of Norway, Team Instructors can and do get the best out of clients. 

Courses, ‘events’, training, projects, or expeditions can be tailor-made to suit any client. We have the capability to lecture in the board-room as well as expedition in the sub-Arctic deserts of central Iceland or local woodland. Either way our clients are challenged to adopt pertinent management and leadership qualities – or simply but no less valuable – undertake to learn from scratch new skills whether these be industry related or outdoor pursuits skills from our Wilderness & Survival Training Team.

" I am totally confident that HUNTER has the right course for you. Our repertoire of hourly, day, night, multi-day, local, regional, national, and international instructional workshops and expeditions, whether for novices, youth, adults, and/or for those more experienced ....are all well known, heavily in demand, and repeatedly re-booked by clients. We can - and do - tailor make courses; these can be on your own premises, for just a handful of participants, or large numbers - at our 1000 year-old outdoor centre, or in a cabin in Norway or Sweden. Working for four decades in the industry, I have built, and as a direct result HUNTER has, a reputation for quality which we as a Team are rightly proud of.  We use our experience of literally hundreds of successful, safe, expeditions and many thousands of day courses to make your time with us the best possible - and memorable...for all the right reasons!
