About Southern Experiential Training

I'm Dave Roberts, the director of Southern Experiential Training ltd (SET). I've had 17 great years in experiential education, working in educational management, training other educators and working closely to enhance the learning of students. I live in the community of Hawea Flat with my partner Tanya Phillips and three children Huitau, Lily, and Joe.

In the design and delivery of quality learning experiences I am an expert. At  Mount Aspiring College, Wanaka, New Zealand I led a highly motivated team of very successful educators in the Outdoor Education department, controlling the management, development and delivery of the outdoor programmes and supporting the growth of an experiential life skills hostel. These programmes have become national models of excellence in this area.

I have delivered workshops to the International Association of Experiential Education and presentations to The New Zealand Accelerated Learning Convention on experiential learning, as well I have had work published on facilitating review sessions.

Fun and Focus...

I have professional outdoor instructional qualifications and I am a very skilful facilitator of growth, learning, transformation and fun. I have a B.Sc., and a Diploma in teaching.

SET also has a pool of very experienced contract facilitators, all experts and leaders in their respective fields. SET is able to draw on the flexibility of this pool of experts to help you meet your training needs.
