National Certificate in Outdoor Recreation (Leadership) with strands in Abseiling, Bush-Walking, Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, and Sea Kayaking

This National Certificate recognises the minimum skill set required to independently lead groups in a specified outdoor activity. It is the entry-level qualification for people leading, or intending to lead, outdoor recreation activities for people at an introductory or beginner level, where the emphasis is on participation in low-technical, low-risk environments rather than developing skills. People who hold this qualification are expected to operate within an organisation's safety management system.

The Core Compulsory section of the qualification covers the knowledge and skills related to assessing and managing an emergency care situation, knowledge and application of leadership for outdoor recreation, concepts of basic risk management, gathering and applying weather information, and first aid.

People must also complete one of the six strands included in the qualification which focus on more specialised skills for various outdoor recreation activities.

The Abseiling Strand covers the knowledge and skills related to abseiling and leading an abseiling experience.
