Embark on a comprehensive and challenging 21-day Jungle Expedition Leader Course, immersing yourself in the captivating wilderness of Guyana’s rainforest.

Following the jungle survival training, a brief phase will prepare you for the mountain expedition where you'll put your skills into action. You'll rotate through various roles, applying your knowledge in leadership, planning, camp management and overseeing the well-being of your team members. 

Another pivotal aspect of the expedition involves the isolation phase, during which participants are individually secluded within the rainforest’s embrace, equipped solely with limited provisions. This rigorously assesses each individual’s resilience, resourcefulness, and ability to sustain themselves until rescue is effectuated.

​

Beyond an ordinary adventure, the Jungle Expedition Leader Course will not only equip you with essential technical skills but also foster personal growth, adaptability, and leadership abilities.

The instructional phase commences at Rock Landing, where participants will actively engage in rigorous training to acquire critical survival skills. These encompass essential competencies such as fire-making, water procurement, shelter construction, and astute awareness of potential jungle hazards. The curriculum further incorporates theoretical modules covering survival psychology, wildlife awareness, and expeditionary medicine to ensure a comprehensive skill set.
