Advance your career in outdoor recreation with the SIS40621 Certificate IV in Outdoor Leadership.
This qualification equips you with the skills and knowledge to lead and supervise groups in a variety of recreational activities with strong leadership capabilities.
Learn to manage group dynamics, handle operational logistics, and mitigate risks in diverse outdoor environments and gain the expertise needed to guide participants safely and confidently through outdoor adventures, all while adhering to established plans, policies, and procedures.
This qualification reflects the role of highly skilled outdoor recreation leaders who lead and supervise dependent participants in recreational activities according to activity plans, which they develop.
These leaders are proficient in recreational activity techniques and have well-developed leadership skills to manage group participation, cohesion, operational logistics, risk and significant problems as they arise. While actions are limited by the parameters of plans, policies and procedures, they work with a considerable amount of autonomy.
This qualification reflects the role of leaders who can work at or close to base but often work in remote areas distant from support. Communication systems may be unreliable and assistance from medical and emergency services may not be readily available. They are expected to make high level independent judgements about logistical, technical, safety and emergency response issues.
