Rebelle U FAQs
Our team has developed the curriculum to create a class that is safe, easy, and fun. Just because you will be learning how to do new and difficult things doesn’t mean that it will feel that way. Each skill is taught and developed in a specific order to ensure that students feel safe and confident trying them and then practicing them during the course. This order and teaching structure builds a platform for success.
The class is designed to accommodate a wide range of experience levels. Beginning and intermediate drivers and/or navigators are our most common participants, but we often have returning students and advanced participants that enjoy the class and the practice of fundamentals that we provide.
Once you sign up for the class you will be provided login details to our online training courses (navigation). We recommend that you watch these and do some practice prior to the class. For beginning students, there are a lot of terms, ideas, and tools that you will be introduced to in the videos. By watching them in advance, most students find the class easier and more fun.
We will send out a list of gear and navigation tools in advance of your class. Generally you will need to bring your own navigation tools such as a compass, plotter, minute ruler, and pencils for the navigation classes (we provide maps, routebooks, syllabus, etc.), and a 4WD or AWD vehicle for the driving classes. If there is something on the list that you don’t have or aren’t able to transport to class (ie, if you are flying in), we can provide rental equipment for camping, and vehicle recovery/maintenance.
Rebelle Trials is mock rally stage. Participants will take part in a 1-day rally stage complete with briefing, start/finish line and scoring. The stage will include a “day in the life of the Rebelle Rally” with map and compass challenges and a timed & on-route enduro challenge using vehicle and handheld scoring trackers. There is no better way to test your skills and you won’t get that anywhere else that at Rebelle U.
Never competed in the Rebelle Rally? Take the 3-day course including 2 days of navigation training + 1 Rebelle Trials. OR take the 4 day driving and navigation course with a “mini Trials” on Day 4.
