Become a NOLS Field Instructor

We look for educators who are growth-oriented and passionate about teaching.

To become a NOLS field instructor, your first step is to complete a NOLS Instructor Course. The Instructor Course is expedition-based training focused on preparing you to teach NOLS’ expedition core curriculum: leadership, risk management, outdoor skills, and environmental studies.

Take a look at the FAQs to learn more about instructor courses with NOLS.

Become a NOLS Wilderness Medicine Instructor

Instructors are first and foremost intentional educators. They teach the recognition, treatment, and prevention of wilderness emergencies across all NOLS Wilderness Medicine courses including: 2-day Wilderness First Aid, 10-day Wilderness First Responder, Wilderness Upgrade for Medical Professionals, 30-day Wilderness EMT, and more. 

To become an instructor, you need to complete the NOLS Wilderness Medicine Instructor Training Course (ITC), a 7- or 10-day intensive training in Lander, Wyoming.
