Overview 

This is a skills refresher course for current holders of a valid OBS Challenge Course Instructor Level 2 (CCI Lv2) certificate. Participants will undergo reassessment of their ability to execute skills and demonstrate knowledge and competence in facilitating High Adventure Elements (HAE) and Low Adventure Elements (LAE) at a Ministry of Education Outdoor Adventure Learning Centre (MOE OALC). This reassessment will ensure strict adherence to the MOE OALC Standard Operating Procedure (Site Specific). 

Upon successfully clearing the assessment, participants will be awarded a renewed OBS CCI Lv2 certification, which is valid for three (3) years upon the date of completion.

The re-certification course is offered in two formats depending on the practitioner's accumulated work experience hours. Practitioners who have clocked a minimum of 150 cumulative hours of ropes course-related work experience and a minimum of 24 hours of additional relevant training within the previous three years will undergo the 3-day re-certification course. Those who do not meet these requirements will be required to complete the full 5-day re-certification course instead.
