Tread Lightly training

[Kevin B.]

It appears the schedule at the next Training Day is full, are there any Tread Lightly teachers interested in providing a course any time soon? I don't expect I'm going to learn anything catastrophically new, but there's only one way to find out, right? And in truth, I'd be interested in eventually becoming trainer certified myself and I don't see a better way to get started.

Put a group together and I would be more than happy to offer the Tread Trainer class. In fact if you can get 6+ people interested in becoming trainers I'm sure we can get something scheduled wig TL.

 

[Kevin B.]

That'd be great, Kurt. Do you have a maximum class size?

eta - What sort of venue would you need?

 

[jeeper]

I'm in for a class and would love to be a trainer also!

6-25 is the optimal size. Anything with a screen/projector is optimal but it can be done sans computer too. I've done classes around the campfire or in a classroom.

I'm in. I've been trying to become a tread trainer for 2 years now. I've submitted 3 request through the tread lightly website, but I've only received one response, from a trainer who was too busy. I'd love to become a tread trainer and eventually a master trainer.



If needed, I'm happy to volunteer my house for the class. i have a projector and room for 10 or so people.

I'd be interested in the course. I have nothing to offer as far as a venue or projector/screen, but I can bring snacks.

This is getting good!

 

[sixstringsteve]

[dutchman]

What would be the cost?

 

[mbryson]

[workdog]

[AX10TOY]

The conference room at my work could be available depending on when, time and how far out it can be scheduled

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'm down with Marc's house.

committed

Yes, I am interested and would be available to do this...

Questions:

1. What does this cover and what materials would the attendee need afterward if they wanted to do a TL course for a group?
2. Are all tread lightly categories covered or just 4 wheeling, or is it just the method that is taught so it can be applied for all catagories?
3. ~How long does the course last?

I can offer a classroom environment with a campfire in my driveway.... probably room for 20 spots max. Although I would use any excuse to go to miller.

 

[TJDukit]

Depending on when I would love to do this. As long as my schedule is the way it is weekdays are are out for me though.

The Tread Awareness class is free 1-3 hours and you leave enlightened... To become a Trainer, you have to take an 8 hour class that does have a fee (~$50) to cover materials. What type of class are you guys lookig for?

 

[sixstringsteve]

Personally, I'm only interested in the tread trainer class.

Gotcha, that will have to be arranged through TL and they will want 6-12 committed on a single entire day. Sounds like there might be enough here that would be willing to spend a say and done money to get trained. Tacoma and Curt Hall are master trainers and might be willing to do a class for you guys.

 

[workdog]

I'm interested in both (more to learn).
