When is this event?
Step up your skills with our Intermediate Survival Course – designed for those ready to go beyond the basics and take on real‑world challenges. This course puts prevention, planning and practical application at the heart of every activity, pushing participants to think sharper, move smarter and operate confidently in the wild.
You’ll dive deeper into essential survival theory while building robust tools like route cards and risk‑aware preparation methods. Across two immersive nights, you’ll construct and refine your own shelters, work as a team on natural shelter builds and apply your learning through hands‑on tasks, scenario‑based challenges and dynamic problem solving.
This is where your foundational skills become genuine capability – tested, strengthened and ready for the real world.
