* This course is for Australian or New Zealand Citizens or Permanent Residents who wish to work for NOLS.

The NOLS Instructor Course (IC) is specifically designed for people interested in working as field instructors for NOLS. Other outdoor programs value employment applications from IC graduates. (Please note: the IC is not designed for novices; it is designed to teach people with extensive experience how to teach to novices in a wilderness expedition setting.) ICs are intensive training experiences in outdoor education, and all of them include an in-depth review of our “core curriculum” in five fundamental areas: risk management, leadership and teamwork, outdoor skills, environmental ethics, and wilderness education skills. The various ICs differ in the technical skills addressed, location, and environment.

*The New Zealand instructor course is tentatively scheduled. Please check back in mid-April 2012 for further information regarding this course.
