Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit applies to those working as bushwalking instructors who are responsible for instructing participants on bushwalking sessions conducted in a range of controlled environments and locations. Controlled environments are easy to follow tracks that are likely hardened and sign posted, reliably marked on maps, obvious on the ground, easily accessed, and with indistinct trails and off track within well defined boundaries. Tracks in controlled environments are graded from Grade 1 to Grade 3 using the Australian Walking Track Grading System.
Bushwalking instructors may operate for outdoor education or adventure providers, volunteer groups, not-for-profit organisations or government agencies.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to instruct participants in bushwalking in a controlled environment. This unit focuses on planning, instructing and evaluating bushwalking sessions to enable participants to participate independently or with minimal supervision, in a bushwalking session in a controlled environment.
