Why the ACA (American Canyoneering Association)

Since 1999, the American Canyoneering Association (ACA) has been the premier source for training, technical information and services for recreational canyoneers, canyon leaders, guides and rescue professionals in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia and around the globe.

All credible professions require formal training and proof of competency. ACA courses and assessments give you that credibility by guiding you through the entire process of becoming a professional canyon guide.

The ACA is the only organization in America to offer a comprehensive certification program for professional canyon guides. Certification from the ACA involves rigorous training and assessment with two key factors in mind:

1. Becoming the best canyon guide possible, and 
2. Delivering the greatest reward for clients. Success in the program indicates that an individual has been assessed to the standard of an internationally recognized, professional body.
