TPP Certificate in Outdoor Recreation

The TPP Certificate in Outdoor Recreation is a popular programme and is a great stepping stone to a career in the outdoors. Live and learn amongst the mountains, rivers, and lakes of the spectacular West Coast of the Southern Alps. Living here means being close to all of these wild places, so less time is spent travelling to them and more time is spent living and learning amongst them.

Many days your “classroom activities” will include rock climbing on the Charleston sea cliffs, ice climbing at Fox Glacier, mountaineering in Arthur’s Pass, tramping in the Lewis Pass or simply paddling kayaks on one of the many lakes or famous whitewater rivers on the West Coast. Theory subjects have been designed to support your skills and growing confidence in the outdoors. It is a big year, chock full of learning, growth, adventure and fun!
