Online Training

 

Our on-line training exercises aim to help you improve the technical skills and techniques that are needed for real orienteering courses by allowing you to practice on a computer.

We have various types of online exercises including:

  •  IOF control description and map symbol matching games
  • Multiple choice quiz format
  • Crosswords
  • Rotatable 3D model to contour map matching exercises

They vary in difficulty from beginner to expert.

For 2022 a new control description platformer game was added:

In 2020 and 2021 over 45 new contour training exercises using rotatable 3D models of real terrain were added.
