The Boyle’s Trainee Instructor Course is open to students leaving school who have a love of the outdoors and working with people. The year long course is based at the Boyle River Outdoor Education Centre in the Lewis Pass. We call our trainees 'Cadets'!
They experience the best that any education system can offer: one-on-one coaching, mentoring, immediate feedback, and experiential learning.The course develops in each individual a knowledge base and a range of skills: people skills, life skills, emergency skills, outdoor living and moving and outdoor pursuits skills. The Boyle is very proud of the achievements of the trainee instructors/Cadets. There is a growing and respected group of over 20 graduated Cadets and the programme continues to produce very special instructors!
This year Josh aka "Jolly Squirrel" completes his level 3 New Zealand Certificate and completes his year as a cadet with the Boyle River. Josh will be taking some time now to spend with his family before making in roads to a future career!
