Outward Bound Australia is proud to provide opportunities for International students to take part in our Internship program. This program provides all the necessary Nationally Recognised Training, qualifications and work experience required to become an outdoor education personal development Instructor in Australia.
Positions on the Internship program are limited for International students. The cost for internationals is currently AUD$14,000. The Application ProcessThe application process is slightly different for internationals as generally these applicants are overseas and therefore are not able to attend the selection course. Download and complete the application form and send it in with a letter of application and a resume. We accept applications all year round and will include suitable candidates as part of our next selection process. The next closing date is Friday 19 October 2007, for a start date in early 2008. Once an application is received it is reviewed and if suitable a telephone interview will be arranged. Any offers of Internship positions made to international applicants are subject to: Literacy and Numeracy Test
