The top and third level is the Master Educator (ME) Course, which is the most comprehensive, covering a five-day period in an outdoor setting. Individuals who complete the Master Educator Course are eligible to conduct LNTTC to teach and develop LEAVE NO TRACE Trainers.

The two-day LNTTC is a condensed version of Master Educator Course. It is designed for outdoor educators and leaders, guides, other outdoor professionals, plus any individual interested in learning more about minimum impact skills and ethics. Covered in this course are an in-depth discussion of the LEAVE NO TRACE seven principles, as well as techniques and methods on how to teach and disseminate low impact skills.

Conducted in the outdoors, LNTTC features interactive learning methodologies, allowing participants to play an active role in the discussion. Those who complete this course are eligible to conduct LNTAW.
