Are you preparing for trials, and just don’t know what to work on? You can’t prepare for trial by running blind hides over and over again. You need to think through the overall trial picture.

Each lesson in this course will include five different search set-ups, video examples, handouts including variations for the different NACSW™ trial levels, and the reasons WHY you should be practicing that type of search for each level.

So, whether you’re training for your ORT or Summit, this course will give you ideas on how to best leverage your precious training time.

IMPORTANT

Team should be proficient hunting for Birch odor.

CEUs

This online course has been approved for 5 CEUs through NACSW.

While the focus of this course is NACSW™ trials, the different search set-ups would be helpful for scent work trials in any organization.
