Testimonial

‘The training packages offered by Tallebudgera Outdoor and Environmental Education Centre are excellent and come highly recommended.  They are designed for teachers and support staff working in the outdoors sector and are tailored to reflect real-life scenarios and the expectations of running programs in the field.  The depth of learning content and practical application of theory, ensures that trainees understand the risks, standard operating procedures and planning requirements for facilitating high quality, safe and engaging learning opportunities for students in their care. Myself and centre staff have been very happy with the rigour, interactive learning focus and assessment modalities to achieve certification.’
