This is the British Orienteering course for those applying for a Grade C Controller’s licence. The other mandatory requirements for getting a licence are:

1. To have organised a competition registered with BOF within the previous 10 years.

2. To have planned a minimum of three events, with at least one at Level C, and at least one within the previous five years.

3 To have completed British Orienteering Event Safety training.

4. To be appointed by their Constituent Association.

[Ref. British Orienteering Rules Appendix C version 3.8 January 2019, para.2.1.]

It is not necessary to have completed all the requirements before attending the course. However those attending should have a realistic prospect of completing all the requirements for being licensed within 18 months of the course. In particular they should have planned at least two events, and preferably organised one. Experience greater than the minimum required is a distinct advantage.

Participants will need to do some preparatory homework before the course so need to allow time for this.

Those interested should contact Michael Chopping and Keith Downing
