Trekforce is trusted by thousands of people to take them safely to remote locations and live with local people, to provide safety, security and logistics staff for film and TV work, including Ben Fogles Extreme Dreams and Jack Osbourne's Adrenalin Junkie. The Expedition Leaders Program provides you with the first step into this exciting world.

The Trekforce Expedition Leader Program is unique and open to anyone. It is a six month program combining legal, safety and Mountain Leader Board training in the UK. On successfully completing the theory element, you deploy overseas.

The second overseas phase has you learning from NHS Medics or Expedition Doctors, Logistics, helicopter evacuation, expedition planning, community liaison, 4x4 and ATV driving plus industry standard risk assessments are just some of the practical skills you will learn and use. Whatever you chose to do on successfully passing out from this program, you will be equipped to lead.

Bruce Parry, now famous for his groundbreaker BBC program The Tribe, led expeditions for Trekforce for over six years.
