His full time work has given him opportunities to develop as a navigator and leader in Lowland Terrain including with the highlight for teaching the Land Navigation Advisors course at the Royal School of Military Survey.

His instructional experience as meant he has worked with a wide variety of different students with different abilities. Ranging from children, inexperienced adults and even to the public sector including emergency services and armed forces, Andrew is always willing to teach anyone willing to learn.
