WE HAVE A COURSE FOR YOU! LEARN TO LEAD Leadership is what sets NOLS apart from the rest. All NOLS courses will teach you the skills to lead others long after you’ve graduated, but these courses give students the greatest chance to put their leadership skills to work with numerous student leaderof-the-day and independent student travel opportunities. MASTER SKILLS Since 1965 people have come to NOLS to learn the skills they need to climb mountains, run rivers, and ski deep backcountry powder. Our extended expedition format means you’ll have time to truly master the skills you learn. NOLS is the premier skills school and these courses give you what you need to be a competent, responsible wilderness enthusiast. ADVANCE YOUR CAREER Get outdoors and get paid for it. These courses are designed for classroom teachers who want to expand the traditional classroom, outdoors people who want to develop their teaching skills, and students from college outdoor education programs. WANT MORE? Three to five months of outdoor living, college credit, and much more. The outdoor semester and the outdoor year are uniquely NOLS. Spending several months as a part of an expedition means you’ll be both a leader and an active follower, practicing communication, conflict resolution, and decision-making. You will return home changed. Most students on NOLS semesters or years come on hiatus from their college campus or as a gap year between high school and college. Adult learners are also taking a longer NOLS experience as a time-out between careers. Having trouble deciding? We have NOLS grads standing by to answer your questions. Call 1-800-710-NOLS or log on to www.nols.edu to chat with our admissions officers and student service representatives. Can’t find a course that matches your needs?
