With our new website and online tools, we are using a new process for our Field Leader courses. You will find ALL the information you need to run a successful course on this page. The tasks remain mostly the same, the way to get there has changed.
We are in a continuous improvement process with our online tools. If you have feedback to help learn how we can make things easier for you, or if you face issues, contact our administrator.
The information below is for instructors delivering courses independently of the OCC. If the OCC national office is organizing a course and is contracting you, we use a different process, which we explain by email. All OCC instructor courses are run by the national office.
Before you deliver a course
We are really excited that we can now easily show your course on our website. We ask all instructors to post your course on our event calendar. Everything is done automatically. All you need to do is fill out the form.
To help you fill the form, note that:
- The title should be the name of the OCC course.
If you offer a combined course (i.e., OCC and LNT) the title can reflect this.
- You do not need to add an image (but it’s nice).
- If you can’t find an exact event category, use the closest and let us know so we can improve.
- Don’t worry too much about the event tag.
- Put your event status as scheduled. If you need to postpone, or cancel, contact us.
- Venue and organizer details can be created by typing in the blank box.
- Event website should link to your website where people can register for the course.
- If your course is NOT open to public registration, click the box beside “private” in the additional field section.
This is the option for university courses, in-house staff training, or any other custom courses offered to a specific public. We still want to promote your course and people to see courses offered in your organization.
Add your courseSending us the information about the students you certified
We are now using a form on our website for you to submit the course participant information. If you have wifi during your course, we recommend you take a few minutes and have your students fill out the form with you.
After you fill out the form, we will send you an invoice (see Course fees below).
If you deliver a course with more than 10 students, contact our administrator. You will register your students differently.
Register your studentsCourse fees
You will be issued an invoice from the OCC. Once payment is received, certificates will be emailed to your students.
The invoice you receive will be based on two fees.
- One for the course delivery fee, which is 25$ per student.
- A second for the certificate fee, which is 20$ per certificate delivered per student
For example, if you instruct:
- A FL (Hiking) course, you will be invoiced 45$ per student (25+20).
- A FL (Winter) course, you will be invoiced 45$ per student (25+20).
- A Field Leader (Overnight) course, you will be invoiced 45$ per student (25+20).
- A FL (Paddling and Hiking) course, you will be invoiced 65$ per student (25+20+20).
- A FL (Hiking and Winter) course, you will be invoiced 65$ per student (25+20+20).
- A GO (Maps and Compass) course, you will be invoiced 65$ per student (25+20+20).
Both fees will be charged for every student in every course.
As a benefit of course participation, students will receive a 12-month membership to the OCC.
If you are a faculty working in a post-secondary institution, contact our administrator to discuss how fees can be paid. We work with multiple bookstores to manage fee payments. It saves a lot of paperwork for you.
