Courses for Adults

…The Options*

Whether it is a formal training or assessment course, or a weekend jolly with friends or family, Ty'n y Berth can offer the perfect tailor made opportunity for you.


Weekend Team-building

For schools, local government departments or business. Ty'n y Berth has many years experience of running developmental courses for a wide range of client groups. Weekends can be as physically or mentally demanding as you wish, with the option of evening exercises, or the more social, but equally valuable trip to the pub! Courses can be designed around a "now get out of that" problem solving approach, or simply through participation in a selection of challenging and adventurous outdoor activities.
Leadership Development

Through active participation in a variety of exercises designed to test leadership skills, delegates can review their own leadership skills, and gain an insight into various styles of leadership and how they can be used to achieve results for your organisation. Programmes are designed around the specific needs of the client. Contact the Centre for further details
Skills based training

These courses allow you and a group of friends the chance to receive quality tuition in a range of outdoor sports including Rock Climbing or Mountain Walking Depending on ability and prior experience, courses could include multi-pitch rock climbing, learning to lead, or a graded mountain scramble.
Familiarisation Courses for Group Leaders

There are few more daunting ideas than to be put in charge of a school visit for the first time. These weekend courses can provide you with essential knowledge and skills in preparation for bringing groups to the Centre. Courses consist of whistle stop tours of selected venues, combined with the chance to experience activities without the added stress of your class watching you! These weekends also allow you to meet and ask questions of Centre staff, meet other group leaders, and familiarise yourself with the Centre and its surroundings.
Self Programming

We can now offer either Centre as a base from which you can organise your own programme. The area offers fantastic opportunities for exploring the local environment. Mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking and hill-walking are just some of the highlights of the area, but also castles, beaches and other visitor attractions offer something for those less inclined to extreme sports.
Self Catering

Choose from a fully catered mini break, or simply a self catering establishment. The Centres offer warm, comfortable accommodation complete with drying rooms and secure storage for bikes or boats etc. Why not pick'n'mix and use the skills of a local instructor and centre equipment for as much, or as little, of your stay as you like. Classroom/lounge facilities are available for groups running their own more formal courses.
Breaks for Family & Friends

Choose from a range of outdoor activities appropriate for the whole family, or go your own way and discover the sights of mid Wales. Pony Trekking, Rock Climbing, Steam Railways, King Arthur's Labyrinth and the Centre for Alternative Technology all add up to yield a holiday with a difference.
Winter Mountaineering

During the cold winter months, Staff at Ty'n y Berth often head for the even colder peaks of the Scottish Highlands. These courses can provide you with a range of experiences from personal winter hill-walking skills, to Snow and Ice Climbing, and maybe even the chance to stay in a snow-hole.
Governing Body Awards

Ty'n y Berth is an approved provider of a range of Mountain Leader Training Courses. Choose from Summer Mountain Leaders Award, Walking Group Leaders Award or Single Pitch Award training or assessment courses. We traditionally run ML courses at Easter and October half terms, but we can run courses outside these times if there is demand. WGL and SPA courses are run on demand, so if you have friends or colleagues interested, let us run a course specifically for you.

*The above courses are only suggestions. We can design a course specifically around your needs. Contact the centre to discuss your requirements.
