New Zealand’s Leading outdoor training and certification organization continues collaboration with APA in 2009.

Asia Pacific Adventure was pleased to have two of New Zealand’s outdoor training legends, Ray Button and Don Patterson, recently in Hong Kong to continue collaboration with our company. Ray and Don have been delivering NZOIA (New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Association) training programs with Asia Pacific Adventure now for 3 years, helping to develop the skills and instruction level of our team.

Stuart Sharpless, Director of Training & Operations, said “Our company is committed to helping push forward and improve the level of standards and outdoor instruction in our organization further and our association with NZOIA helps us achieve these goals....this is especially exciting because we are one of first outdoor companies outside New Zealand to collaborate in this way with NZOIA.”
