Your instructor

Hi, my name is Gary. I have been a NUCO qualified instructor since 2018 and provide Ofqual, RQF, and SCQF regulated and non-regulated training courses. I specialise in first aid, safeguarding, inclusion, and British Nordic Walking training. Residing in South Cerney means that I can provide both on-site training in the Cotswolds and at this amazing venue: ROX Lake 12
I have organised and led 22 worldwide adventure training expeditions, responsible for all risk assessments and first aid provision. I am a qualified and experienced expedition leader, qualified trail cycle leader, and British Nordic Walking instructor. So, whether canoeing in Algonquin National Park, traversing volcanoes in Tongariro National Park, or mountain biking the Slickrock trail in Moab, ensuring the safety of the team has always been my top priority.
In 2022, I designed and implemented the Royal Air Force's 'Everybody Everyday' inclusion training course, equipping personnel with the skills to effectively facilitate interactive sessions face-to-face or over Microsoft Teams. I have been a diversity and inclusion training facilitator for over 10 years, and I have since developed the Inspire First Training 'Inclusiveness' course, specifically tailored for businesses, groups and teams.
I firmly believe in the transformative power of inspiration to empower confidence in others. My unwavering enthusiasm, sense of adventure, and commitment to creating inclusive environments are the foundation of Inspire First Training.
