ALSS Training Advantages Low Student to Instructor Ratio: Most ALSS courses consist of 6 - 12 students ensuring you thorough, personalized instruction with plenty of hands-on time to learn and practice skills. Quality over Quantity: At ALSS, we'd rather be better than bigger. Our courses, skills and field operating techniques are continually researched and refined allowing you to experience some of the most well rounded, honest survival instruction available. Traditional Woods-lore Skills, Primitive Technology, Home and Urban Preparedness, Wilderness Living Skills and Modern Survival Skills: We specialize in all forms of self-reliant skills allowing you optimal adaptation potential in urban and wilderness environments. Minimal Bureaucracy: Our simple operating style and smaller size allow for enhanced experimentation and optimal learning experiences in the field. Cost Effectiveness: Instruction is intense as courses are packed full of information but without sacrificing attention to detail and include all field materials. We won't waste your time and aim to give you more than your dollars worth. The Ultimate Training Landscape: Arizona provides the greatest number of outdoor terrain and weather variables,within the shortest travel distance, of any geographic region in North or South America. From all four North American deserts to alpine tundra, we have the topography to meet your training needs. The I-17 and I-10 freeways run through the center of the state offering quick, hassle free access to all life zones. Check out the "Amazing Arizona" button . We Live Where We Train, and Live What We Teach: The magnitude of this statement should not be underestimated as nature is filled with non stop variation in flora and fauna. Northern Arizona has been our home since 1987. We frequent our course areas on a routine basis year round. This gives us, and you, the advantage of intimately knowing your landscape inside and out, from summer to fall and winter to spring. Custom Administrative Options: We tailor custom programs to meet the specific needs of your group or organization. This allows flexibility within each program to meet agreed upon goals. Easy Access: Phoenix, Sky Harbor International Airport is less than two hours away with ground shuttle systems operating 11 times daily. In addition, the town of Prescott features its own airport with sky shuttle service available from Sky Harbor International 4 to 5 times daily as well as offering landing opportunities for your personal or company aircraft. “Family Style” Courses: Although large enough to tackle most all of your training needs, we are a small school and choose to remain so. Every course you enroll in with ALSS has the flavor of a custom experience from start to finish. We have been family owned and operated since our inception thus still offer a truly unique, “family style” training atmosphere featuring some of the best quality instruction you'll find anywhere.
