ABOUT THIS QUALIFICATION
This qualification is a complete and holistic experience that reflects the role of highly skilled outdoor recreation leaders who lead and supervise dependent participants in recreational activities according to activity plans, which you develop.
You will become 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, you will be ble to work with a considerable amount of autonomy.
You will be able to work at or close to HQ but often you’ll work in remote areas, potentially distant from support. Communication systems may be unreliable and assistance from medical and emergency services may not be readily available. You’ll be able to make high level independent judgements about logistical, technical, safety and emergency response issues.
This qualification provides a pathway to work for any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.
Training and assessment will be conducted by PRO DIVE Sydney.
