This qualification reflects the role of highly skilled outdoor recreation leaders who lead and supervise participants in planned recreational activities.
These leaders are proficient in recreational activity techniques and have well-developed leadership skills to manage group participation, cohesion, operational logistics, risk, and significant problems as they arise. While actions are limited by the parameters of plans, policies, and procedures, they work with a considerable amount of autonomy.
Students do not need any formal previous experience, however, they should have at least an appreciation of outdoor environments and some of the challenges they may present. It is recommended students have had some camping experience, outdoor education programs, or time pursuing an adventure activity.
This course is available as part of the Free TAFE scheme for eligible students.
