The AHOEC promotes excellence in the management of centres providing personal development through high quality outdoor education.
AHOEC members hold senior positions in outdoor centres across the UK.
Members come from local authority, private and charity sectors as well as the wider educational community.
Our members are committed to the successful delivery of outdoor learning programmes, which are designed to provide inspirational experiences, challenging activities, excitement and fun, all with a lifelong positive impact.
By becoming a member of the Association of Heads of Outdoor Education Centres you will gain:-
• Access to a professional network created to enable the sharing and influencing of strategies, views, opinions, developments, and concerns within the outdoor education providers community, which can have a direct impact on future legislation, guidelines, support and service delivery;
• Access to a national and regional support network of senior managers within outdoor education who can provide advice and guidance on a wide range of issues;
• Access to high quality CPD opportunities through annual and half yearly conferences. These provide access to the best up to date information and advice and examples of good practice, as well as giving members the opportunity to influence the policy and direction of the Association.
