Training
Ever thought you could turn you love of the outdoors and sense of adventure into a career? Does your sense of adventure include bushwalking, camping, canoeing, abseiling, rockclimbing or just being outside enjoying a seascape or a bush setting. Ever wanted to work with people to help them develop a better understanding and sense of themself, to realise the strengths and qualities they have and how to use them to achieve their potential and what they want out of life, then completing a course or qualification in outdoor recreation could lead to your dream career.
Entry Requirements
Entry into Certificate III and IV in Outdoor Recreation requires a good level of physical fitness to undertake the strenuous nature of this qualification without becoming a liability to yourself, fellow students and others who ultimately you will be responsible for. We welcome open participation for all and will make reasonable adjustment where practical however the over-riding principle is that of a secure environment for the group, and that cannot be compromised.
Entry into this qualification and progression between qualification levels will be based on the professional judgment of The Outdoor Education Consultants, in consultation with the individual student.
Restrictions
- Minimum age of 17 years
- Successful completion of Year 10 or equivalent
How will I study?
A course of study with The Outdoor Education Consultants will be a blend of on-line self-paced learning and face to face training. Face to face training may consist of classroom learning, practical learning at an activity site or venue either indoors or outdoors and simulated or actual workplace training. Blocks of face to face training are scheduled into a course of study with several dates available , this means your training can fit around your lifestyle.
The Outdoor Education Consultants are different in that we will actively support you during your on-line learning phase. You will have regular Skype sessions with your trainer. Your assessments can be as high-tech or as low-tech as you choose, from using point of view glasses to posting us your assignment, that’s cool by us.
Given the nature of the training, specialist equipment will be provided, but you will eventually be required to provide your own personal safety equipment such as a harness and a helmet. A comprehensive list of ‘essential and optional’ equipment will be provided to you prior to enrolment.
