Englanninkielinen “Bachelor of Adventure and Outdoor Education” -koulutus tarjoaa aidoissa ympäristöissä tapahtuvaa kokemuksellista oppimista, jossa hyödynnetään seikkailukasvatuksen menetelmiä.
Koulutus antaa samat valmiudet toimia ehkäisevässä työssä sekä nuoriso- ja järjestötyössä kuin suomenkielinen yhteisöpedagogi (AMK)-tutkinto. Lisäksi seikkailukasvattaja voi työllistyä erilaisten ryhmien ohjaajaksi tai elämys-, luonto- ja ulkoilmapalveluihin.
Pedagogisen osaamisen ja ryhmänohjaustaitojen lisäksi koulutuksessa painotetaan opiskelijan johtamis-, viestintä-, vuorovaikutus- ja menetelmäosaamisen kehittämistä. Seikkailukasvattaja taitaa eri seikkailukasvatuksen menetelmät ja tietää, kuinka niitä hyödynnetään turvallisesti ja tavoitteellisesti eri kohderyhmien kanssa. Opiskeltavia lajitaitoja ovat mm. melonta, kiipeily ja köysitoiminta sekä retkeily ja vaeltaminen eri vuodenaikoina ja ympäristöissä.
Opiskelu tapahtuu päiväopintoina Nurmijärven kampuksella. Luontokohteissa toteutettavien jaksojen lisäksi työssäoppiminen erilaisissa harjoittelupaikoissa on oleellinen osa opintoja. Koulutuksessa hyödynnetään myös kesälukukausia ja siihen haetaan tammikuun yhteishaussa.
