The Mountain Navigation course includes an Online Pre-course that is approximately 2 hours of self-paced learning. This will be completed in our Virtual Classroom, with an access link emailed to you after registering for your specific course date. The topics covered in our Virtual Classroom include:

Live Zoom class session
In addition to the Online Pre-course material and the Practical Field training, each Mountain Navigation course includes an essential Live Zoom theory session usually held on Thursday evening from 7-9 pm prior to the Practical Field-based training day. During this Live Zoom session, you will meet your instructor and other teammates on the course and cover the final theory material, and arrange all logistics required to prepare for the practical field-based training.

Practical Field-based training
On the field day, you will meet with your group at the prearranged trailhead at 8:00 am. The actual location and timing of the day will depend on the weather, time of year, location preference of the participants, and other factors. The location and logistics for each Field Training day will be determined on the mid-week Live Zoom session.

The practical Field training day will be conducted outdoors and includes the following essential mountain navigation and map/compass skills:

You will return to the trailhead between 4:00 – 4:30 pm and complete the course with a short wrap-up and question session.
