"I understood it. Excellent explanations, well paced, good use of hands–on mixed in with the lecture." — WNCS Participant

The Wilderness Navigation Core Seminar (WNCS) fully integrates NTS Topographical Maps, Compass Skills and GPS Receivers, into an innovative one day seminar. The WSCS provides excellent Map and Compass Skills integrated with GPS Receiver Training. GPS Receivers are excellent tool for navigation when properly used along side a topographical map and compass. To get the best out of your navigation training you need training that uses Map and Compass alongside a GPS Receiver.
