Developing individuals through outdoor skills training.
|
We
offer
a
2-month
all
inclusive
instructor
training
package.
This
intense
program is aimed at individuals who are
interested in creating a niche in the outdoor market. The fast trek
program is designed to enable access into the industry with detailed
tuition on both the instructional and the business aspects of creating
and running your own activity provider company.
The
intensive
course
covers
the syllabus for two uk based
national governing body awards, summer ML and SPA. A minimum of 12
months walking and climbing is
required. Participants must be physically and mentally prepared
for the
challenge, as achieving these qualifications is hard work. During the
two
months, you will cover the syllabus for both awards, and achieve the
required
experience to undertake the recognised training for both
qualifications. We
will travel the length of the country, visiting a variety of locations
for each
activity- providing experience in numerous terrain and vegetation
types, and different rock types to build a varied
portfolio for your logbook. A big part of the experience required for
ML involves camp craft and being able to look after yourself and a
group overnight
in the mountains- therefore a good portion of the course will be spent
wild
camping and using camp sites where appropriate. You will be working
on your
own skills and reviewing your group work performance, not doing work
experience
at a centre with occasional opportunities for personal development!
The course is designed to include a
relevant
first aid
qualification for outdoor instruction. All candidates, dependant on
commitment
and individual ability, will undergo both National Governing Body
training
courses before the completion of the course. Both training courses are
included in the price structure.
 A key
hurdle for all pre-outdoor
instructors is obtaining group
work experience. We facilitate this as
we visit different locations
throughout the Uk. Using local certified groups of all ages and
abilities we combine log book experience with an insight into the soft
skills nessecary to develop great outdoor instructors.
Further more we give an insight into
what future clients expect from a new business within the industry and
how best to appraoch various niches within the market.
This will not only enable your log books to be filled appropriately but
help you acquire industry based skills that will help develop your
dreams of the future.
