This means that by taking a single course\, individuals with the required experience can acquire multiple licenses such as FL (Hiking)\,  FL (Winter)\,  FL (Equine)\, FL (Paddling)\, FL (Overnight) and GO (Maps and Compass) courses. Course performance\, field experience and certifications received will determine which license a graduate will receive.  \n\n\n\nCourse Pre-requisites: Individuals who have an extensive base of outdoor leadership experience and can act as mentors to other leaders are great candidates to become an OCC instructor. Such people have significant experience in teaching and facilitating outdoor experiences for others as well as experience with the following: \n\n\n\n\nThe selection and training of field staff.\nThe creation and implementation of program activities.\nThe monitoring and management evaluation of program quality.\nThe organization of logistical support for field operations.\nRecord Keeping.  \n\n\n\n\nApplication Process: You must be an approved instructor candidate to register for this course.
