    Excellence in Outdoor Leadership!

    NZOIA is the qualification body for 10 outdoor disciplines. There are 3 levels to each qualification, which are recognised nationally as the industry standard. 

    NZOIA has developed outdoor instructing and guiding in New Zealand into a profession, through a commitment to training, standards, currency, and a code of ethical practice. Assessment, through formal peer review of instruction and guiding practices, has improved our way of working. We are responsible for promoting the highest standards of outdoor instruction and guiding, and striving to ensure that outdoor activity participants enjoy quality experiences.

     

    Refresher Workshops

    The fees for these are included as part of the Symposium Registration Fee, however you will need to submit a separate application online, through the NZOIA course calendar to attend. This is because these courses require extra documentation such as a summary sheet, first aid certificate, logbook etc. It also allows the assessor to have access to your application via the NZOIA website and groups together all the health information for a particular workshop.

    There are limited places available for Refresher Workshops and full symposium attendees will have priority. The workshops have been added to the course calendar. Please remember that you need to make payment to secure your place as it is first in first served.
