Company Profile
Ecofieldtrips is a Singapore-based environmental education provider that conducts field courses for international schools in Singapore and Malaysia. Our aim is to connect students with our planet through interactive trips that hit both academic and personal development points key to a variety of school syllabuses or objectives. Environmental understanding and conservation awareness are at the core of everything we do.
Typically our field programmes are 3 to 5 day residential trips in different regions of Peninsula Malaysia and we provide staff with the required training in knowledge, logistical and safety aspects of all the courses we run. Our staff need to be fit, competent in the water (scuba diving or life saving qualification desireable) and hold (or willing to obtain) a first aid/ CPR qualification. However, enthusiasm, professionalism and a willingness to learn are the key attributes that we are looking for!
