EVC Training | Risk Assessment Training | Visit Leader e-Learning

COURSE INTRODUCTION:

This course has been designed by EVOLVE Advice supported by a team of experienced Educational Visits Advisers, former Ski Instructors and a Ski Patroller.

Snowsport Visits Training is focused on active risk assessment and group management on snowsport visits and is primarily aimed at staff leading or accompanying visits. 

This course does not cover leading, instructing or guiding skiing/snowboarding. Staff looking to lead, instruct or guide should be appropriately qualified and may be interested in Snowsport England's Alpine Ski Course Leader Award (ASCL).
