Day 1 of NOLS Risk Management Training

I always look forward to teaching the NOLS Risk Management Training curriculum! It’s very useful for organizations that operate across a broad spectrum. The training provides actionable opportunities for a wide variety of programs. Participants range from executive directors to program staff, small private companies to large universities, and environmental education organizations to outdoor adventure groups, any of which could be domestic or international in scope.

This group is sharp—among the 15 of them they bring varying levels of experience and needs. Tomorrow we are getting ready to do our emergency response activity which concludes with the class having the opportunity to review an incident and to ask one of the instructors (who is role-playing as the director of the program) questions. I have a feeling they are going to keep me on my toes!
