NAVIGATION INSTRUCTORS WORKSHOP – DAY 01

Operational Field Support had organised a workshop for the Operate in Remote Environments (ORE) course instructors. ORE is a qualification required for all remote area firefighters.
The workshop was delivered by Way-Finder.

Most of the day was spent in the classroom. We discussed group dynamics and better ways of presenting map reading and navigation topics. Our instructors introduced some basic navigation exercises and soon enough we hoped in our PCs and were on our way in the bush to test the ideas.

We practiced some of those “Nursery Nav” exercises and we were sold on the value of these exercises!
We returned to the classroom, debriefed and went back to our accommodation.

Over dinner we discussed the day and were enthusiastic about the workshop and our instructors.
