"...leaders are neither born nor made - they grow" (- Mary Cox)

Please Note: Becoming a good leader takes dirt-time and experience. This course is just a part of your expedition preparation and focuses on giving you a fundamental skill set in the core disciplines of wilderness living skills, field medicine, vehicle preparation, bush maintenance and off-road driving. Skills such as leadership, communication and group dynamics are an equally important part of the mix, and can often take much longer to develop.
