College Student Certification Special

April 24th - 26th, 2020

$300 per person
Are you interested in working as part of the challenge course industry? For outdoor education students, we are offering a weekend of skills verification followed by an ACCT Level I Certification Exam. Gaining certification indicates that you have demonstrated a set of skills and met certain criteria. For employers looking to assess an applicant’s skills, this certification is great verification from the challenge course industry.

Over a day and a half, we will review, practice, and expand upon the pertinent hard and soft skills necessary for the Level I exam. Because the certification is not site specific it is transferable to different courses. For the exam, there is both a practical and written portion.

We are excited to offer this opportunity to the next generation of industry professionals as you build your skills and hone your passion. Only 20 minutes from UNH!
