Customized Classes

Students receive customized materials, group learning and discussion. Our students receive time to physically demonstrate and practice skills with a dedicated trainer overseeing their work. Class sizes are small so students receive excellent attention. Class curriculum and materials are structured with specific training outcomes and they are also flexible to fit students' specific goals, knowledge and abilities.

Focused Attention

Class sizes are small and private to one group of students who are planning a trip together. This format allows for the class to be customized to fit the group's training goals. Each student has time to practice and demonstrate skills at his/her pace. Classes are comprehensive and cover topics and skills needed to know to run multi-day trips. There is time for detailed question-and-answer discussions. Students receive focused attention allowing for highly-effective trip planning, training and safety.
