Expand your special interests, hobbies or career potential with a course offered through colleges, universities or professional institutions. Most provide on-campus instruction, but some can be taken online.

What is a course in outdoor sports? Not only will students learn a new sport and venture into the outdoors, but they will also learn theory, plan activities, have assessments and go on field trips. Additionally, scholars learn the practical application of the learned skills and how to address a group course outside the classroom, prepare training courses and even run a training session. What’s more is courses tailored to specific sports provide scholars with the certifications needed to teach and work with people participating in that sport. Courses last from a few days to a few months, depending on the location and type of course taken.

Team-building and leadership skills can help course attendees beyond the classroom and in their communities and personal lives. Learning to face challenging obstacles is a skill that can propel individuals into the unknown with confidence.

Beyond the course cost, additional fees may apply depending on the focus, location and duration of the course. Most course web pages list the various associated costs needed to attend.

After finishing this course, students have gone on to attend colleges and universities with majors in physical education teaching, sports science, sports medicine and the like. The course can work well for a gap year between high school and college or prepare non-college bound individuals to work in the industry. Job opportunities outside college include apprenticeships in the industry, sports center managers, sports coaches and sports physiotherapists. Instruct vacationers; tourists; recreational fitness enthusiasts; and beginners in watersports, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding and more.
