“I signed up for this course specifically so I could take it from Sawtooth Outdoor Education. There were other courses available but I knew they were the best. It was absolutely worth the wait. I highly recommend taking a course from Sawtooth Outdoor Education if you can. Ben was an awesome instructor with a lot of great feedback and he was super engaging, easy to listen to and helpful during office hours! I learned so much and had a great time. The course was well organized, professional, responsive, and I hope to send many employees for future training.”

"Ben is an outstanding teacher. He was always engaging and interesting. He is clearly passionate about teaching this subject, and he does it extremely well. And I really liked that this was an online course, especially since I could meet and interact with people from literally all over the country. I thought the course might be a little boring at times - "nine hours class time plus homework for seven measly principles?" but it never was. I found the material fascinating. Finally, I loved the opportunities to do our presentations in different ways: orally, with slide decks, videos, etc. That's not something you could easily do in an in-person setting."

"This course was fantastic. Ben Lawhon is a great instructor. Being able to take a virtual LNT Instructor 1 saves me having to drive hours to take the course. Virtual allows the course to be spread out over 3 days - less of a one time time commitment. This virtual course is well developed. No technical issues. The feedback was detailed and thoughtful, and there was absolutely no one-size-fits-all behavior. The instructor individualized every bit of advice to the specific person's background, experiences, location, and purpose. Highly recommended! Five stars!"
