The Desert is an environment of extremes. Extreme heat, at times extreme cold and of course, extreme dry. This course will teach you the essential skills you need to make your desert trip safe and successful.
Like all of our courses we combine environmental awareness with everyday practical skills. Together this will give the understanding to appreciate the environment and the ability to look after yourself and others whilst there.
Who is the course suitable for?
- Leaders or instructors who want to lead expeditions in the desert.
- Leaders with desert experience who want
to benchmark current best practice.
- Teachers going on expeditions to desert destinations
who want to feel informed and confident in that environment.
- Researchers or adventure travellers planning to
travel in the desert.
- Anyone who would like to understand and appreciate more about this environment.
