It is crucial for us that the Trainers we work with allow students to:

- Understand how to work with others to achieve agreed outcomes
- Provide the opportunity to lead others and to reflect on how to do so effectively
- Gain an understanding of how to transfer skills & experience into other facets of current & future life
Before we offer work to anyone, we always have a friendly familiarisation conversation so that we can get a feel for who they are and vice versa. This is where people are invited to get to know Wilderness Expertise, and decide whether we’re right for you.
