our course

Our navigation training sessions focus on discovering your inner orientation skills and reaching their potentials. We believe that our brain is the best and most reliable navigation tool. All our courses teach navigation using simple tools such as compass and map. We don’t use GPS. We take advantage of the recent improvements happened in maps and teach you new strategies that were not possible before. We also train you on the traditional techniques. We found that we can reach the accuracy of GPS in many cases using only map and compass.

Our courses are taught using high-involvement and active learning techniques that allow participants to learn faster, remember more and have tons of fun.

In all the courses, we will supply you with maps but you will have to bring your own compass.
