After completing A-Levels in psychology, sociology and chemistry at Corfe Hills School, Tomas then decided to follow a completely different path and applied for Rockley’s Outdoor Instructor Apprenticeship.
Tomas enjoys plenty of outdoor sports with climbing, paddleboarding and surfing being amongst his favourite. “I’ve always loved being outdoors – walking and mountain biking. I also love the water, qualifying as a beach lifeguard after my A-Levels.”
Currently based at Buddens Activity Centre, Tomas and his fellow apprentices are already getting fully qualified in a multitude of outdoor activities as well as three paddlesport disciplines.
Since September, Tomas is already running rope, teambuilding and paddle sessions and recognises that he’s “come a long way since training started.”
Asked whether Tomas is confident in his role leading sessions to young people: “The confidence is growing the more I’m learning, plus I’m a bit of a child anyway, so I can relate to them!”
