**NOTICE**

NOLS New Zealand has decided to postpone this instructor course until further notice.

As a replacement, NOLS New Zealand will be running a Professional Instructor Course in April 2021. The professional instructor course is aimed at candidates actively working in outdoor education and/or guiding who hold local qualifications such as those via NZOIA or NZMGA. 

Our standard instructor course will run again at some stage in the future - stay tuned for updates.

The New Zealand Instructor Course will build on the technical outdoor and leadership skills you already have during a 23-day sea kayaking and hiking expedition. During the course, you will have opportunities to fine-tune your teaching skills through an in-depth examination of the NOLS curriculum. *Only those with the permanent legal right to work in New Zealand are eligible.
