First: Ask yourself 'Do I have a
deep passion for the outdoors ?'
Second: 'Am I strongly motivated to help other lesser experienced travelers in having a great time on their trips ?'
Basically, our 1st & foremost priority is to find people who are passionate about outdoor adventures such as trekking, overlands and who are eager to learn, experience, innovate, and share their outdoor skills and knowledge's with others.
If we feel that you do not have sufficient experience, we will give you the opportunities you need to be competent in the outdoors. What you need is an voracious appetite to soak up all available knowledge, skills, and experience you can lay your hands on. In other words, you need to have commitment.
We don't expect people to apply for a trek-leading job just to make money. Rather, we prefer candidates whose motivation for leading is their passionate interest in adventure travel & the outdoors, and who believe that the rewards of this work experience far exceed the value of any monetary compensation that could be obtained in a hum-drum job in the office !

Benefits
One thing to remember is that no one has ever gotten financially rich by becoming a trip leader / facilitator. So if your primary motivation is monetary in nature, please look elsewhere for greener pastures.

| 1. | Good opportunity to develop, learn and sharpen your people management & leadership qualities |
| 2. | Partial or full subsidy for adventure course or related course - e.g Survival, Wilderness First Responder, CPR, Sports Climbing etc |
| 3. | Free or subsidized trips, personal trips (for qualified GAC Trek Leaders) |
| 4. | Opportunity to learn from experienced Leaders / Trainers |
| 5. | Attractive discounts in gear purchases from our partners gear shop |
| 6. | Free loan of equipment and gear for your outdoor adventures |
