Jonny Crockett of Survival School

Founded in 1997, Survival School is an internationally respected, accredited centre specialising in bushcraft, survival and wilderness-living skills. With decades of experience and thousands of successful graduates, we invite you to reconnect with nature, challenge yourself — and maybe even discover a new side of yourself. 

What We Offer

• Hands-on Courses for All Levels
  Whether you’re a complete beginner or already confident in the woods, our courses — taught by highly-qualified instructors with extensive real-world experience — give you practical skills that stick. Expect immersive, hands-on training in firemaking, shelter building, foraging, knife skills, water purification and more. 
• Wilderness Adventures & Expeditions
  Want more than a weekend getaway? Join one of our expeditions across beautiful and wild locations — from ancient woodlands to rugged Highlands. Experience real wilderness living and push your limits, in a safe, professionally guided setting. 
• Officially Recognised Qualifications
  All courses are accredited by NCFE — so you walk away with a certificate that reflects real learning and skill. Our instructors meet rigorous standards for education, safety and professionalism. 
• Expert Guidance & Trusted Gear
  Our instructors bring decades of wilderness experience — from the Arctic to the jungle — and teach you using gear they trust themselves. That means the techniques and equipment on our courses are road-tested in real conditions.
