Internship Positions for 2011 |
Cert III in Outdoor Education – The Gordon Tafe
Interns are trained to lead young people in a number of different settings and activities. Whether it be leading a group of 12 on an outdoor adventure based activity such as hiking, rock climbing, paddling or running a school activity session, interns are trained in all aspects of leadership and facilitation. Interns forge meaningful relationships with young people and through this are able to share their faith in the natural environment of our programs.
 What’s involved with the Cert III in Outdoor Education?
Most interns come to SU Victoria’s – SOAR Adventures with little experience in outdoor education. That’s fine, so long as you have a love for the outdoors and a desire to learn. The Certificate III in Outdoor Education fits neatly within SU Victoria’s - SOAR Adventures training program to provide a total package that equips interns with the knowledge, experience, skills and strategies to teach groups in the variety of specialist activities in the outdoors.
Formal training
In completing the Certificate III interns will study all issues relating to teaching young people in an outdoor setting. These include risk assessment, group management, leadership styles, environmental impact, weather, hard skills and age appropriate goal setting. In addition, interns will gain nationally accredited certificates in First Aid level II.
