The pathway

A clear route to field readiness.

A structured progression from a UK introduction to full field preparation in Panama. Each course states clearly who it is for, what it covers, what it costs and what you will leave with.

Step 2
Panama Foundation

Full field preparation in the Darién — movement, camp, hygiene, medical and leadership.

Step 3
Continuation / Advanced
