Prepper Academy 2027

A five-day intensive — the full, deep-dive version of everything prepping.club teaches, compressed into one committed week. Not a taster session; this is for people who want real depth, not a checklist.

What you'll do

  • Work through five full days, each built around one pillar of preparedness — no filler, no repeated basics
  • Build real things: a complete kit, a medical bag, a written household plan, an off-grid comms setup
  • Run a full scenario simulation on the final day and get direct feedback on how you actually perform under pressure

Curriculum

  • Day 1Foundations — risk assessment, home audits, and building your baseline plan
  • Day 2Water, food & shelter — filtration, storage, and a real shelter-in-place setup
  • Day 3First aid & medical — trauma care, triage, and building a proper medical kit
  • Day 4Communication & coordination — off-grid comms, community networks, family plans
  • Day 5Full scenario simulation, and graduation

09:00–17:00 each day. This is the same instructor team across all five days — no rotating guest speakers, no filler content to pad the week out.

Book

No-show policy: booking a spot means someone else can't. If you don't show up without cancelling in advance, your payment isn't refunded. Cancel at least 15 days before the event for a full refund — that gives organizers time to find someone else for your spot. Cancellations closer to the event, or no-shows, aren't refunded.

Who it's for

People ready to commit a full week to this — whether you're starting from scratch or you've already done Preparedness 101 and want the deep version. Not aimed at casual interest; the Community Meetup or the workshop are lighter starting points.

Priority booking: prepping.club members, and anyone who's already taken part in one of our events — in person or online — get priority for the 16 spots, before booking opens up more broadly. If you're a member or you've been to a past event, mention it in the RSVP form below.

What to bring

  • Comfortable clothes for hands-on work each day, and closed shoes for the outdoor scenario portion
  • Accommodation for the week if you're travelling in — the academy runs day sessions only, evenings are your own
  • Nothing else — all materials, kit components, and the medical bag build are provided

Led by

Taught by prepping.club's own instructor team across all five days. A completion certificate from prepping.club is issued at graduation — not a third-party accreditation, just proof you did the work.

Volunteers

We need help running a five-day program smoothly — registration, materials, and assisting during the hands-on stations. No experience required; apply to volunteer.
