This IOL approved weekend is a fun and informative 2 days giving you the hard
and soft skills required to lead your own expeditions or fieldwork trips.
We use scenario based exercises to look at the soft skills which are vital in leading and organising expeditions as well as looking at pre-planning and dynamic safety management during the trips.
This course looks at the logistics of organising and leading
an expedition and follows the stages through from planning
on paper to applying this paperwork actively in the field.
We'll also look at opportunities
in the expedition sector and structures for qualifications. It is appropriate for:
- Leaders who have worked in the outdoors (for example
through the military or in outdoor education) and
want to get into expedition work.
- People who have done an expedition as a team member
and are interested in getting to the next stage.
- Anyone planning or interested in running their own expeditions or overseas fieldwork projects.
- Leaders who want to develop their expedition specific
skills.

Course Content:
- Expedition Industry:
Opportunities, qualifications and training, along with a discussion of their pros and cons.
- Expedition leadership: What is involved in expedition leadership - styles
of leadership and their appropriateness to different types
of expedition.
- Soft skills: In many ways
the expedition leader’s greatest assets are their
soft skills. We will look at scenario discussions, practical
exercises and also look at reviewing and personal development
on expeditions.
- Expedition Pre-Planning: We will look at the main documents which will form
a central part of any expedition plan - the Risk Assessment
and the Crisis Management Plan. We will also look at other
planning such as food and kit provisioning.
- Extended Expedition Scenarios: Risk assessments, crisis management plans etc are
too often seen as a necessary evil which take up a lot of
time and then sit mouldy in the bottom of a rucksack. Using
a combination of discussions and practical sessions we will
look at real life examples of why the paperwork is important
and how it can be actively applied and adapted in the field.
Prerequisites:
Many of the participants are often active in the outdoors
professionally or personally. However no previous experience is necessary
and it would equally suit anyone planning to get involved
in an expedition for the first time or just interested in
learning more.
