This training is intended for members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, state boating specialists and others with a strong interest in paddlecraft safety.  All participants must complete an application, including a short description of how they plan to use this training to promote paddlecraft safety. Applications will be considered in the order that they are received, so it is important to get your application in early.

Strong paddling experience is not a pre-requisite to attend, as there are separate tracks for beginners all the way up to current ACA Instructors.  Applicants accepted into the program will be charged a $125 registration fee, and they must become members of the American Canoe Association (ACA).
