Training
Proper training and development are essential components for tour operations. Zip line tours require a high level of professionalism and an eye for detail.
Training consists of harness, helmet, and pulley attachment and placement on zip lines. From pre-zip safety checks between guides on the tour, client well being is always doubled checked for accuracy. Proper zip line sequencing and trouble shooting problem areas are also addressed.
Training usually consists of classrom instruction followed by hands-on training for a minimum of 16 hours or as long as 40 hours. Training time is dependant upon course construction type, style, and trainees abilities to grasp information and techniques. Professional tour operations should be a business attitude, not a marketing catch phrase.
All trainees will demonstrate proper procedures for operation and receive a skill assessment critique. An operations manual is also available to assist in the development of your tour procedures.
