AUTUMN QUARTER
classes have begun!
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Designed to bring students firsthand training from qualified professionals and certified trainers, The Wilderness Academy strives to broaden your knowledge base in Survivalism beyond the indoor classroom and into the "real-life" classroom.
​
Each course is entry-level and is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts as well as newcomers to the great outdoors. Likewise, each course is designed for novice preppers as well as survivalist team members who aspire to excel in the field of Survivalism.
​
An array of subjects are taught in various modules culminating to 8-16 hours of online classroom instruction and 2-4 hours of live practical experience per module along with personal journaling and/or recommended reading and testing.

FINAL TEST
​
The purpose of lecture hours is to allow the instructor enough time to convey necessary information to the student and allow the student enough time to learn and review information conveyed from the instructor.
Many courses require textbooks and supplemental reading along with a discovery journal.
Mid-testing is conducted to assure the instructor that the student is ready for the second half of the course. The purpose of the live video practice assessment is to provide the student with real-life learning experience within the context of the subject taught and the instructor sees the student firsthand that he/she has understood the lecture and materials provided.
​
The live video practice assessment is an independent task which is video-documented and submitted to the instructor following the fourth lecture before the mid-test and following the eighth lecture before the final examination.
​
Course score is determined from testing and the live video practice assessment at a percentage of 60% / 40%, respectively, for a maximum overall score of 100%.
​
Upon satisfactory completion of all lectures, live video practice assessments and exams, the student will be awarded a Certificate of Completion and is encouraged to sharpen and heighten their new skillset as a permanent part of their life.
