Professional Development

Professional development by Jonathan Leeming

 

Lodge training traditionally centres around field guide training, however, there are opportunities to include the lodge staff, backoffice staff and guests involved with activities. There are opportunities to connect your staff to sustainability objectives and targets, as well as learning how to incorporate sustainability into the guided experience.

Lodge training consists of various activities that can be scheduled around operational requirements, participant availability and guest schedule. These activities include lectures, courses, practical field trips and guest activities.

There are 4 areas where I can particularly add value:

  • Management: Emergency response plan and protocol for all bites and stings. 
  • Field guides: Spider & Scorpion training, as well as sustainability training. Self study material is available. 
  • Staff: Responding to a snake, spider or scorpion onsite. Emergency protocols for bites and stings.
  • Guests: Formal lectures on a variety of conservation, fire side chats, sustainability and first response subjects. I can help with appropriate information for client rooms regarding venomous animals.

These activities may be formal or informal. Suitable for organisations such as lodges and field guide training schools that require a flexible training scheduled to accommodate various participants and their work schedule.

Training is costed per day, plus transport to the location. Training materials and books are costed separately if required. Certificates can be supplied for participants that complete any course or workshop.
