Expedition leader training

The course allowed me to build up technical and jungle specific skills whilst embracing and enjoying the jungle environment. The breadth of activities was great and it means I feel I’m leaving with a broader understanding on not just outdoor based skills such as kayaking and starting fires but also leadership qualities and the realities of managing a big team effectively in difficult environments. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I had such a good time whilst also learning a lot about myself.

A good basic introduction to adventure travel leadership. It covers a wide range of topics including theory based workshops as well as practical information and outdoor skills such as jungle and medical training

A Greta course with a really good balance of practical and theory based content. To be in Costa Rica was a great experience. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive and friendly throughout. I’d recommend the course to anyone.
