NOLS skill seminars are fun and intensive, and lessons are practical and applicable. We don't tell you how to do things; we rely on experiential education and let you learn by doing. We mold the course curriculum so that you're getting the very best of NOLS in a way that makes you the very best at what you do.

In either our custom skill seminars or open enrollment seminars, you'll learn from veteran NOLS instructors who excel at the specific skill you want to learn. They have a passion for what they teach both professionally and personally—when they're not teaching the skill, they're out on the world's toughest rivers and mountains doing it on their own.

Custom Skill Seminars
NOLS knows the best classrooms in the world for learning technical outdoor skills. Whether it's the dynamic seas off the Pacific Northwest, the rugged Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, or the Patagonia Northern Ice Field, we've taught there.

You can bring your group to one of our wilderness classrooms, or we'll send our staff to the your location. This means you're using the same equipment and the same classroom that you actually teach in—making you that much more comfortable when you're teaching or practicing on your own.

Contact us today for a custom skill seminar.
