The ELM Home Study Course & Hands On Training

Our Home Study Prep Course—along with Hands-on Training—is the best qualified program to instruct and lead you through every detail required to mold you into the Top Hand that all outfitters are looking for.

Here at ELM we want all our students to be well prepared prior to attending hands-on training. Our Home Study Course will do just that for you. We combine the Home Study Course Manual (Outfitters & Guides Bible) with three professional DVDs. With over 500 pages, the Home Study Course Manual contains easy-to-understand text and hundreds of illustrations—all gained from over 65 years of real-world outfitting and hunting know-how. The DVDs detail many aspects of horse and mule packing, and the latest knowledge in elk calling and set-up techniques.

After you successfully complete the Home Study Course you can then move on with confidence knowing you have equipped yourself with a much better understanding of the skills required to become a proficient packer & guide in this industry.

Now you're ready for advanced hands on training!
