Guide Endorsement is aimed at leaders, who are involved in guiding activity, particularly those working within Adventure Tourism and Commercially.

Your endorsement supports and recognises your experience and that you have developed the skills required to fulfil a guiding role.

You will join a supportive network of leaders, sharing best practice and like-minded ideas, to aid your learning and support paddlers on their journey.

Furthermore, the endorsement is used by paddlers, clubs, outdoor centres and organisations as recognition of your professionalism, knowledge, skills and experience and you are therefore well placed to support their journeys and expeditions.

What does it involve?

The Guide Endorsement supports and recognises the additional skills required when fulfilling a guiding role

You will choose the areas to develop that are most relevant to your guiding role:
