Whether your program is small or large, wilderness-based or study abroad, you have a responsibility to your staff and participants to invest in risk management planning. Building a comprehensive risk management plan can feel daunting. Our goal is to provide you with a structured approach and tools to build a risk management plan appropriate for your organization. At NOLS, we've spent more than 55 years managing risk in wilderness environments around the world, and we're always learning. Join us to connect and share your valuable experience with peer programs, and let us share our experience and lessons learned with you.
In this training for outdoor professionals and program administrators, you will build an action plan to improve your organization's risk management practices. Instructors will help you identify your program's strengths and areas for growth. You will also learn a framework for designing risk management systems that meet the unique needs of your program.
If you oversee a program that takes people off the beaten path, you are a good candidate for this course.

What an amazing class that was, I got so much more than I expected to get from it (and I had high expectations). The instructors were both extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the provided binder was full of awesome exercises that could be implemented with staff, and the protocols and materials were top notch!
