360 Technical Outdoors

Busy bank holiday, delivering outdoor first aid for an organisation's customers and underground guiding.

One pathway is to use a Technical Expert to train and assess staff for the activity in question and at the venue/s required. Combining this, with a review of RA and Ops, a solid training and assessment criteria provided by the TE will give you a robust outcome.
