Unit Standards
We are fortunate to not only be able to offer life-changing experiences, but also tick some boxes along the way! If your organisation is accredited to offer unit standards, we can provide the practical training, instructional expertise, and safety system for you by helping to build a programme that meets requirements and assesses students to the level required. It is your organisation’s responsibility to do the administrative reporting and workbooks with the students to ensure they meet the unit. These units could be based during just one day or over multiple sessions. Common units we currently offer are rafting, kayaking, low/high ropes, rock climbing/abseiling, safety management and teamwork units.
