2-Day Skill Refresher: Level 1 Review
Course Description:
If you have taken a Level 1 training in the past, you may be able to identify areas of your skills that could use some updating and refreshing. High 5’s Skill Refresher: Level 1 Review is an opportunity to review essential skills that are taught at Level 1 training that focus on facilitated challenge course operations (as opposed to Adventure Parks and Zip Tours), without the need to repeat the entire workshop.
This 16 hour refresher will reinforce the fundamental operational skills needed to effectively run standard challenge course elements and maintain an educationally sound adventure program. Emphasis is on practicing and improving technical skills. At the beginning of the first day, participants will have the opportunity to identify their most significant needs in terms of content review, and that co-generated list will form the basis of the training agenda.
This workshop will help you prepare and review for the Level 1 Challenge Course Practitioner Certification Exam. (Testing is optional: you must register for an exam separately.)
THIS WORKSHOP WILL INCLUDE:
- Essential challenge course skills such as spotting skills, equipment use, knot tying, belay skills, element setup, and more
- Standard operating procedures for dynamically belayed high elements
- $350.00 Includes registration, and lunch during the workshop
