Online Briefings

"I can easily recommend Backcountry Learning’s online safety briefings to any backcountry ski operation."
John Furneaux - Director of Ops - Bella Coola Heli Sports

Why do we need one?

Backcountry Learning develops these courses so that your clients can take them in their own time in advance of their day at your operation.

The intention is not to replace the in-person safety briefing, but to amplify it:

Improve retention rates

Guests will remember important safety information.

Reduce stress & anxiety

Guests arrive prepared having absorbed the information.

Put guides' minds at ease

Know that your guests are ready for the unexpected.

Experienced guests

More knowledgable guests can go over protocol and see how it differs to what they know.

Foreign language speakers

Foreign language speaking guests can go over the content at their own pace and with translation aids.

Save time

With more knowledgable guests arriving, your in-person briefings will run smoother and faster.

Built into each course is a vast amount of interactivity designed to increase information retention and keep learners engaged throughout.

Examples of some of our interactive features are:

Interactive video

Dive deeper into instructional videos through interactivity.

Flashcards

Associate images with words to help retain information.

Interactive images

Hone in on the key elements of an image to better understand it.

Knowledge checks

Gain instantaneous feedback when testing your knowledge throughout the briefing.

Tabs and accordions

Avoid overwhelming the learner with information. Break it down into bitesize chunks.

Quizzes

Test what you have learnt over the briefing and see if there are any gaps in your knowledge.

What can it include?

All of our online briefings are tailored to your operation's procedures, equipment and branding.

Here are some examples of modules used by operators around the globe:
