Rocky Mountain Instructor Course
Please contact training@nols.edu with any questions you might have.
The Wind River mountain range is the place Paul Petzoldt chose for the first NOLS course in 1965, and we have trained instructors here ever since. Your Rocky Mountain Instructor Course will build on the technical outdoor skills you already have as you fine-tune your teaching skills through an in-depth examination of the NOLS curriculum. This 24-day course includes leadership training, a backpacking expedition, basic training on teaching lessons and how to build and support inclusive course cultures. Successful completion of the instructor course will prepare you to work wilderness backpacking courses for NOLS.
