Trainings

At New Frontiers we recognize that for your challenge course to meet your needs your staff needs to be properly trained. We offer trainings that will help your staff become competent in both technical and group skills. One of our goals is to help your staff to become confident and comfortable in their technical and facilitation skills within the framework of the client population you serve.

Site Specific

What a better way to train than on you own course? Your staff will learn, practice and test on the actual challenge course that they are going to use. This will ensure familiarity with your operating procedures, your protocols and your systems.

Low and High Element Skills Training:

The Low Element trainings will focus on introduction, presentation, sequencing, spotting and lifting as well as facilitation and debriefing skills.

The High element training will focus on risk management, equipment usage, element operation, belay skills, rope care, knot tying and rescues.

These trainings are offered as a Level 1 Basic or Level 2 Advanced depending on the needs of your staff and their current level of understanding, portfolio and training.
