About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

The purpose of this qualification is to provide New Zealand with individuals who are able to work (paid or volunteer) safely as a member of a group in the outdoors.
This qualification will provide a diverse range of workplaces and communities with graduates who hold the essential technical skills needed to manage own personal safety, with an ongoing responsibility for risk management, while undertaking outdoor experiences in unfamiliar and dynamic environments.
Graduates will operate under indirect supervision of an outdoor leader or instructor to safely manage own participation as a member of a group.
