ULTIMATE SURVIVAL STAFF TRAINING

The Ultimate Training Programme is a three-part programme:
 

  1. Online Competency Assessment:

  2. Central Training & Assessment:
    Staff attend face-to-face training before they join Ultimate, if they have not attended before, or if they have attended before but have not worked in the last 2 years . Read on for more information. Staff are paid to attend Central Training & Assessment events.
  3. Camp Induction Day:
    Staff attend a short introductory setup day at their specific camp location to get themselves and the camp ready for the season ahead. This is a paid day and staff attend every season. Click HERE  for more information.
