There is no formal face to face training component in this scheme. Instead, we have developed an optional online training resource to help you familiarise yourself with the Camping Leader syllabus and associated competencies prior to attending assessment.
The training is accessed through the Online Learning tab of your account.
The course will take approximately 4 hours to complete if you engage with the content in all sections. You may revisit the online training course as often as you wish in advance of your assessment course.
The online training also provides you with an outline of how your assessment course will be delivered and ideas for how you might consolidate your learning.
After completing the online training course, use the skills checklist (download below) to identify syllabus areas you need to practise.
