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.

★★★★★
The student session format was great. It was nice to have clearly set homework and to be able to post videos for feedback. The zoom meetings were good even though I couldn’t attend any live but the feedback for the homework was SUPER thoughtful and helpful.
