Why The Nature College
The Nature College has developed its own unique training programmes and materials independent of other providers and accredited by CATHSSETA. This has led to a fresh approach in training, interesting handbooks and stimulating course presentations. Our assessment techniques and procedures are highly rated by CATHSSETA, and are designed to be user friendly and a real test of ability.
Once you have been approved by a Nature College assessment, we can send you into the guiding world with confidence. A qualification from The Nature College is a guarantee to your prospective employer that you have been equipped with good, solid guiding skills and a practical approach to guiding.
The Nature College has built an effective administrative system that will produce quick results. Experience helped us streamline our systems. We do not want customers frustrated by bad administration. We have a high level of personal interaction and involvement with clients, and our students remain associated with The Nature College and enjoy our full support.
