Wilderness Training

Though forestry, surveyors, and tourism workers are the first industries that come to mind, wilderness survival is a course topic that applies to any industry that could involve an incident in a remote area. This course will cover the importance of pre-incident preparation, with a focus on communication as well as basic wilderness injury, illnesses, and first aid; basic wilderness survival kills, such as finding fresh water, building a shelter, and making fire; and environmental and seasonal survival considerations.

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
