National Navigation Award Scheme All NNAS courses include advice and information about relevant safety and access issues when journeying in the countryside. SC039201

The mission of the National Navigation Award Scheme is to inspire, enable and empower people of all ages to navigate with confidence through the provision of personal navigation skills training, delivered to nationally recognised standards of excellence The National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) is a personal performance, non-competitive, incentive scheme for all ages to learn navigation skills and gain confidence to get out and enjoy the countryside. In addition, an understanding of relevant conservation and environmental issues and awareness of our impacts all form part of each course. The main NNAS scheme has three levels of award: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Bronze level is suitable for people with little or no prior navigation knowledge. There are also Outdoor Discovery Awards (ODA) which are aimed at all ages and abilities, promoting exploration in local areas using simple maps e.g. street maps, pictorial park maps & orienteering maps, and with a gradual learning progression. Please note that the awards are individual skills awards and should not be used as a leadership qualification of any kind. For further details and a full syllabus for the awards please go to our website www.nnas.org.uk

National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, no.

"Completed my NNAS Silver Certification with Lee, great 2 days in the hills. Lee is a patient instructor with the ability to flex the course to push the students to give their maximum. Thoroughly enjoyed it and he comes highly recommended."

"We had a great experience on the NNAS Bronze course in Shropshire with Lee. He is extremely knowledgeable, focused, and highly technical, but what really stood out was his teaching style. Lee allowed us the space to independently read the map, make decisions, and learn through doing, while always guiding and supporting us at the right moments. This built real confidence rather than reliance on instruction.

The terrain in Shropshire was ideal for developing navigation skills, and by the end of the course we genuinely felt we had earned the Bronze award. We are already looking forward to progressing to Silver with Lee and would highly recommend him to anyone serious about improving their navigation skills."
