Level 2 Outdoor Education

In this course, students will apply classroom-based learning activities to an outdoor environment. They will gain an appreciation for the outdoors while participating in a range of outdoor activities. The activities will include tramping, camping, navigation, and appropriate gear and food in the outdoors. The focus will be on developing their own skills in these activities as well as learning about risk management and leadership.

This course can lead to certificates, diplomas, and degrees in sport, recreation, physical education, outdoor education and sustainability. The purpose and design of this course is to give students an opportunity to learn in, through, and about a variety of outdoor activities. Some potential career pathways could be in adventure tourism, secondary and tertiary teaching, outdoor education centres, working as a fitness instructor or as a personal trainer in centres or for corporate groups, environmental and conservation groups (including the Department of Conservation and others).
