Become One of the Industry's Best Kayak Instructors
Go beyond the ACA's instructor certification and learn from the best at NOC! Our Kayak Instructor Training Course is designed to prepare you with the professional skills needed to teach whitewater kayaking for fun or profit. As a prerequisite, you'll need to be able to confidently paddle Class III-IV+ whitewater, with the ability to self-rescue and help with group rescue in Class III.
Five Days with the World's Best Instructors
During this course, we will introduce you to NOC's philosophy of teaching that is: • Student-centered • Goal-oriented • Progression-based
As the week goes on, we'll also help with refining your personal skills for efficient techniques and river running skills with a focus on: • River management skills • Rescue prevention • Hands-on rescue - skills both in and out of the boat.
One of the unequaled features of the course is two days of teaching actual beginner students, while being given tips and feedback from an experienced mentor instructor. This will prove to be incredibly valuable as you introduce new students to the sport and teach them the paddling progressions needed for fun and success on the water. We focus on your safety while teaching you how to manage unforeseen challenges on the water. During our time together over the week, we'll have the opportunity to paddle on Class III-IV rapids.
