Adventure Tourism Leadership

Get outdoors, get active and have fun while you learn a wide range of outdoor skills. At the same time the Adventure Tourism Leadership programme allows you to develop your personal leadership style, enhance your communication skills, and determine your contribution to creating a high functioning team.

These personal and social skills are not only critical in today’s world of work they are transferable to any career path you choose to take. During the Level 2 course you will experience mountain biking, caving, sea kayaking, rock climbing and camping, and in so doing, gain valuable credits at NCEA Level 2.

The Level 3 course builds on existing outdoor skills allowing students to become more confident and skilled in different outdoor environments and wilderness emergency response situations.

On completion of this course you will be able to:
