Controller Accreditation and Training Review Completed
Orienteering Australia has recently completed a review of the process for training and accreditation of Controllers.
The project team has reviewed and refreshed the documentation, to deliver a framework guide that covers the common aspects of the system, as well as individual curricula for delivery of 3 FootO levels and 2 new MTBO levels.
The documents and accompanying application forms have now been published on the OA website in Section 4 of the Operation Manual webpage (ADMIN > OPERATION MANUAL) for trainers use.
Any FootO controllers who have an interest in MTBO accreditation, can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
The MTBO Application form gives a summary of the competencies required.
A guidance session for the use of the 2 new digital application forms is planned for Sunday 26th Feb and will appear in Eventor shortly.

Stephen Holloway (Illawarra-Kareelah Orienteers) has made orienteering visible in the general community in the Illawarra region. He has been paramount in initiating and implementing hands-on workshops at Wollongong and Thirroul libraries to attract newcomers. These successful 2-hr workshops offer the public a chance to experience orienteering instruction via a video then a hands-on demo course, followed by a course in the nearby local area. Stephen also supports local schools with their orienteering programs and is an invaluable and pro-active club member.
The Volunteer of the Year Award is presented to a member/s recognised for meritorious service to the sport of orienteering in NSW.
