NNAS Bronze Award
The Bronze award is a perfect place to start becoming more confident with navigation.

Along with using basic map interpretation and compass work.
The beauty of this course is that you don't have to have any navigation experience, so if you are new the countryside, or if you have always let someone else navigate, then this is the course for you.
