This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to navigate in environments which can include tracks or inland rivers according to planned routes.

The unit provides skills to navigate in environments where tracks or inland rivers, natural and constructed features are reliably marked on maps. Tracks are distinct, have signage, with route markers at intersections and where the track may become less distinct. Land based tracks could be graded according to the Australian Walking Track Grading System and might include features of grades 2 to 3.

This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.

It applies to leaders, guides or instructors, who use these skills when leading participants during activities where navigation skills are required.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
