Course Syllabus

Welcome to the CSUN AS Online Outdoor Leadership Program (OOLP)

This is a single semester, non credit, learning opportunity to gain relevant knowledge, skills, abilities in the field of outdoor recreation and outdoor education. 

The goal of this course is for you to complete at least 10 online training sessions. Each session is from a third party outdoor recreation training resources. These content providers represent industry standards and the courses that will develop your skills and knowledge and build out your resume/CV with each certification you receive as proof of completion.

The way the it works…

You have the entire semester, to asynchronously complete at least 10 certifications. 

There are 5 required trainings that you will be required to complete. These are skills that all outdoor enthusiasts should definitely have. 

Next, pick out at least 5 additional training courses from any ‘track,’ depending on the knowledge and skills you want to develop. 
Turn in each proof of completion on Canvas at your own pace. 
*There are paid certificates listed. These can fulfil your 5 course criteria, but OA cannot pay for the cost of these certificates. 

By week 15 of the semester you should have completed at least 10 total courses and complete the CSUN Outdoor Online Leadership Program.

*You are more than welcome to complete more if you would like.  
**If you don’t finish your 10 certifications that is okay. You can rejoin the program next semester and carry over your already completed content.
