Level 100 Officials Course
February 11th 2018 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Organizer: Alan Vyse (Host)
For the first time in many years, Sage is hosting a level 100 officials course! This is a three hour course, which may end a little early if we go through things quickly.
Location:
Okanagan College, Salmon Arm (see map below).
Coming from somewhere other than Salmon Arm? Add a comment when registering so we can arrange carpooling.
Who should take this course?
If you have never planned/helped out at a local event and would like to try organizing/helping out at one or if you have already planned several events but want to find out how to improve your course setting and better follow Orienteering Canada's guidelines come and join us.
Everyone is welcome! Eventually, we hope that all volunteers organizing local events will have Level 100 certification.
What will I learn?
This course is designed to teach the basic principles of organization and course planning for a local level event. You will learn how to get the map you need, what software to use to plan your course, how to plan your course, and much more!
