Open Courses Running at Vertex or Clients' Venues

Throughout the year we run ERCA courses and Vertex Training courses here at Burnbake in Dorset for both individuals and groups, as well as open courses at clients' venues.


It's a great training venue, you get away from your own working environment, allowing you to concentrate fully on the course and get the most out of it.

If you want to keep the cost down, Burnbake Campsite is just opposite the ropes course and is open most of the year.

If you would like to stay on site in your own camper van or similar then we have a basic kitchen, washing facilities including a shower, and use of the training room in the evenings just to chill out or to do some studying. There is free Wi-Fi available.

Sometimes we are able to offer spaces on training courses we are delivering at a clients' site and these are listed along with the training courses being held at our site in Dorset below. For any course being held at a client's site you will be responsible for sourcing your own accommodation and food.
