Overland Training was created to prepare vehicle-dependent expedition travelers for the challenges and opportunities associated with exploring the globe. These skills include vehicle operation, recovery and repair, along with expedition planning and logistics. Being properly prepared for remote travel also requires competencies with modern communication tools and a proficiencies in wilderness medicine. Overland Training provides these skills through comprehensive field training courses presented by experts in their field.
Our focus:
Overland Training was founded on three pillars of instruction, which we believe are the foundation for successful expedition travel.
1. The Overland Institute: The cornerstone of our training mission, the Overland Institute courses are designed to prepare vehicle-dependent travelers with detailed instruction on vehicle operation, vehicle recovery, equipment selection and packing, expedition logistics and planning, and as a capstone course, cultures and conservation.
2. Expedition Leadership: Even as a solo traveler, an expedition requires good leadership skills, which include assessment of risk, analyzing available solutions and taking decisive action. All leadership courses are conducted in the field to best simulate real-world conditions and challenges.
3. Expedition Photography: Many expeditions are a trip of a lifetime for amateur adventurers, while other expeditions are conducted by journalists, photographers and filmmakers. Without question, quality documentation of the travel experience is an essential skill for the adventurer. Overland Training employs Emmy-Award winning filmmakers and professional photographers to instruct our students in capturing the most compelling images possible.
