NNv – Sustainability at VDWS: Be part of the change!

At VDWS, sustainability is an integral part of modern outdoor sports training, not an add-on. A sustainability certificate will soon be required for Level 1 training, internship supervision, and management, and it will be an integral part of the licensing process.

Starting in January 2026, the eLearning course "NNv — Teaching Outdoor Sports Sustainably" will provide you with the knowledge necessary to teach outdoor sports competently, responsibly, and with an eye to the future. Access will be sent automatically to all participants at no additional cost.

You must successfully complete the NNv e-learning course within 30 days of registration.

Become a role model. Set standards. Help shape the future of nature sports.

Important:
To keep your license valid, you need to:

  • Attend further training: Take part in a VDWS training course every three years.
  • Register Basic Licenses: Prove at least 10 licenses per year in your sport in the VDWS Checkpoint system.

Sounds doable? Let’s go! 🚀
