ACA & BCU Training Programs
The American Canoe Association (ACA) offers skills courses to paddlers of all skill levels. The courses represent sets of skills, safety procedures and other materials deemed appropriate for the particular environments.
British Canoe Union (BCU) training and assessments are for highly motivated learners with open minds and a sense of discovery, who want to understand and enjoy kayaking to its fullest potential. We highly recommend that you take the appropriate training before signing up for an assessment. Please contact us to discuss your skill level and appropriate entry point into the BCU system.
