We place a high degree of value in the training and skills developed through the Certificate IV in Outdoor Leadership. The course develops strengths in leadership, safety, responsibility, and teamwork. These are not only skills for outdoor programs, but transferable life and career skills that set young people up for long-term success. Many of our staff began their careers with this qualification and have since progressed into long term, rewarding roles. We see firsthand that the Certificate IV in Outdoor Leadership provides a genuine career pathway in a growing industry,  which can lead to lifelong adventure.

Rachel Salmon, Human Resources Manager

Having worked with and employed many graduates over the years, I have been consistently impressed with the competence, confidence and passion of Wodonga TAFE trained leaders. When running adventurous activities in remote locations, we need leaders who are comfortable in the outdoors, solid in their navigation, good with people and able to make wise decisions from experience. Wodonga TAFE sets young guides up to become these leaders.

Congratulations on consistently helping to supply the outdoor sector with the leaders it needs.

Jayd Wieland – Owner/Operator

Working with Wodonga TAFE to deliver a traineeship was a very positive experience for us. Our trainees gained a strong foundation of skills and knowledge through their TAFE training and were able to apply this effectively in a real-world setting during their work with us. This alignment between training and industry needs meant they were well-prepared to transition into full-time roles upon completion. We remain confident in the quality of skills and knowledge held by those who have attained their certifications through Wodonga TAFE.

Becca Buckley, Corporate Services

With over 35 years' operating across Victoria and interstate, we see a huge and growing demand for qualified and experienced outdoor education professionals. The sector is thriving, and there are abundant opportunities for casual, part-time, and full-time employment — but it all starts with getting the right qualifications. One valuable pathway we would recommend is a Certificate IV in Outdoor Leadership at select Victorian TAFEs, such as is offered at Wodonga TAFE.
