Join our open courses - or let us design a course specifically for you

We have over ten years experience in preparing expedition teams to operate in remote areas around the world.

We run training courses both in the UK and out in Borneo, training a wide variety of clients including university students, expedition leaders, adventure travelers and expedition team members.

We also train professionals such as wildlife rangers, research assistants and tour guides in safety and emergency procedures.

All of our courses use a combination of classroom based teaching and hands on, scenario based activities.

Comments from clients:
The course reinforces the need to make contingency plans... the interactive group sessions were a very good idea - makes people really think - Oxford University

It is suprising how much more confident I feel now approaching a crisis situation... I feel much more aware of safety issues and more confident in problematic situations... The course is useful to get you thinking about things you may already know but don't always consider - looking at fieldwork in a different light - Leeds University
