Course Fees

The full course fees will be reimbursed by NYC/YCS for projects approved and undertaken as part of the YEP Grant disbursement. (Please check with YCS on your eligibility for the grant if reimbursement is a concern to you, as the training is open to all whether they take up the grant or not.) Course fees incidentals will cover:
Due to the experiential nature of the course, there is a need to have enough participants in order for the full realization and benefits of the course. But at the same time, there is also a limit to the number of participants for each course for it to be optimally conducted. Do sign up early for the course and encourage other leaders of teams whom you know to sign up, especially if they are from another institution. Diversity will certainly help learning! Disclaimer: Field Experience PL reserves the right to decline enrollment into the course or to cancel the course if there are insufficient participants. |
YEP Leaders' Refresher Course2-Days Course:* Do consider the possibility of joining another course with higher sign ups IF the course you applied for is too low.
Course Fees YEPLRC Full 2-day course: $425 The Refresher is meant SPECIFICALLY for experienced leaders who have completed their LTC, led expeditions, and are still within the 4-year certificate validity time-frame.

We will cover key topics in the YEPLTC Curriculum. It will cover the YEPLTC course topics with an advanced perspective. It will draw on every leaders' experience. It is a highly facilitative course that engages leaders. Leaders take ownership in their learning. |

Outdoor Learners' Clinic (OLC) SeriesField Experience contributes to the community of explorers with useful skills which some people might think is 'common sense' (we know common sense is not actually common but coloured by our own experience and culture), but to others, they just need advice from experienced leaders and facilitators. Every question asked is a learning experience. In our facilitation, no question is a 'stupid' question.

Educational Institution Consultancy
It's often a challenge to set up something from scratch. While it's exciting doing so - I've been through it myself, it takes a much longer time and a steep learning curve.
It'll be OK if it's all fine during the learning curve, but it's still a risk. Weigh up the risk and if you think it's not worth not taking, we can help. If you want to get your institution up and operational to support your overseas projects and stakeholders, give us a call to explore.
We'll lighten the burden of the setup for you.
