These leaders are proficient in recreational activity techniques and have well-developed leadership skills to manage group participation, cohesion, operational logistics, risk and significant problems as they arise.

This qualification reflects the role of leaders who can work at or close to base but often work in remote areas distant from support.

Communication systems may be unreliable and assistance from medical and emergency services may not be readily available. They are expected to make high-level independent judgements about logistical, technical, safety and emergency response issues.
