The MAI pathway provides a foundation for pursuing opportunities in adventure tourism, outdoor recreation, guiding, adventure centres, camps, expeditions, and related outdoor industries.
If adventure is more than a hobby, it could become your profession.
Develop professional skills, gain practical experience, learn to lead, and start building a future in the adventure industry.
