This navigation workshop will look at the best way to progress your skills to get ready for an assessment, refresh your skills and even pick up something new.

This workshop will focus on simplifying navigation strategies to enable you to choose the right navigation tool for the job. We’ll look at how to break a journey down, and discuss the specific techniques required to deal with navigating a particular route.

During the day we’ll look at a variety of navigation techniques, building on your existing skills to either help you towards assessment, or to refresh and consolidate if you are already qualified.
