Challenge Course Training and Certification
SYNERGO certifies facilitators to work in the challenge course industry. Our certification
program is a comprehensive set of workshops covering the major areas of challenge course
facilitation and standards set by the Association of Challenge Course Technology (ACCT).
In the SYNERGO training sequence, a Lead Facilitator is an individual who has completed
Advanced Skills and Standards, Low course Skills and Standards, Belay and Leading Edge Climbing,
Advanced Facilitator Techniques and continues to develop their range of activities and
initiatives through It's In The Bag trainings (or their equivalent). A yearly Advanced
Skills and Standards re-certification course is also required.
A Lead Facilitator can work on a challenge course with a group unsupervised, provided
they are familiar with basic procedures of that particular course. The Lead Facilitator
is also the person in charge when more than one facilitator is needed for a group and can
provide a daily and monthly course safety inspection.
In addition to certifying lead facilitators we provide training for individuals who are
interested in facilitating groups on the challenge course and in other experiential educational
settings. SYNERGO provides certificates in each of the following areas:
Its In The Bag, Advanced Facilitator Techniques, Basic Skills, Belay and Leading Edge
Climbing, and Advanced Skills and Standards.
