Regional training is conducted at an off-site location and is geared toward meeting the training requirements for the Challenge Course Practitioner Certification process. Training topics can cover the same concepts as taught in our On-site Basic Training or can cover additional and more advanced topics found in our Specialized Trainings. Specialized Training covers topics that will increase the knowledge base of your facilitators and/or ropes course managers. These training hours can count toward meeting the training requirements for certification. Please consult the certification information for more specifics.

Note: regional trainings can also be exported to your site.

You will gain the tools you need to safely manage and effectively facilitate a group through a challenge course. This workshop is also valuable for veteran practitioners who might need to freshen up on their skills. Attendees will have an option, for an additional fee, to take the written and practical skills certification tests upon completion.
