Design Your Own Course

At NOLS Professional Training we take the teaching and leadership curriculum that has made NOLS the best in the industry and create a custom course to fit your unique needs. We determine what you need and provide a format specially designed just for your group, whether you want to focus on leadership and teamwork or develop solid outdoor skills.

Program Coordinators are available weekdays from 8am – 5pm (Mountain Time) to assist you in creating a customized course. Contact us today.

We will design your custom course around the following:

  • Course Dates & Group Size
  • Course Location
  • Activity or Learning Objective
  • Course Length

Course Dates and Group Size

Course dates and group size may affect the possibility of designing a course in a specific location or around a specific skill. For example, Alaska hiking courses only run in the summer months with an optimum group size of 9 to 12 people. If you know your course dates and/or desired group size, contact our program coordinators to discuss options.
