If you love the outdoors and have great communication
skills, instructing for NOLS may be your opportunity of
a lifetime. Launch your NOLS instructor career with:
• The NOLS Instructor Course, a month long
course for aspiring NOLS instructors. You’ll get the
tools to teach the next generation of NOLS students—
in-depth instruction on teaching the NOLS curriculum
and training about NOLS protocols.
• The Professional Instructor Course, an 18-day
course for very experienced practicing outdoor educators.
We’ll recognize your accomplishments and put you on
the fast-track to working for NOLS.
Year-round work, instructor seminars to continue your
growth and NOLS support for personal expeditions are all
part of the package. Work and travel the world with NOLS!
