The Alpine Guide Certificate
This program is designed to develop the guiding and instructional skills needed to work in alpine rock, snow, and ice terrain, in both summer and winter.
Alpine Guides can be seen guiding frozen waterfalls, climbing alpine ice faces, and leading expeditionary trips throughout the great mountain ranges of Canada and the world.
To enter the program you must complete the Apprentice Rock Guide Program and meet all prerequisites for the Alpine Guide program.
Although this is a demanding program it opens up tremendous opportunities for the guide.
The Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA) professional Level I course is required for entry into the certificate program.
