The Track Twenty Six Academy
A structured, mentored learning path that takes you from your first outdoor step to confident outdoor leadership.
Overview
Learning as a journey
The Academy is the educational heart of Track Twenty Six. It organises everything we teach into one clear path, so learning is progressive rather than random.
Rather than chasing difficulty, the Academy builds breadth and depth: skills, judgement, safety and the human side of the outdoors.
- A clear five-level learning path
- Mentored progression based on readiness
- Practical, field-based training
- A framework for recognising progress
