The training program covers a wide range of subjects, from first aid to environment and team building to learning about Adventure. It is hands on practical training under the guidance of experts in various fields.

Successful candidates receive Pugmarks certification. However, let us be clear on one point ‐ it is a tough life for volunteers. They are required to work hard and put in substantial hours in addition to normal obligations of their colleges. Sure enough, the rewards are worth all the hard work put in.

What is it that sets these youngsters, seniors by only a few years, apart from rest of the crowd?

We, at Pugmarks, believe that our Volunteer Training Program makes THE difference. Sure enough talent is there but it is dormant. Pugmarks provides the first opportunity for the natural talent to surface and bloom. Pugmarks discovers in you the natural leaders, naturalists, team builders, adventurers. It is great to discover yourself – give it a try. It could change your life.
