Below is a chronological listing of upcoming CKAPCO update courses and upgrade opportunities for ACA instructors. All American Canoe Association Instructors are required to update their certification at least once during their 4-year certification cycle. These are UPDATE (and/or upgrade) courses for current instructors only.  These updates can occur at any time during those four years without resulting in any more frequent updates: You're next due update would remain the same. We encourage all instructors to seek an update when they are most convenient to you in order to be able to schedule with an appropriate ACA Instructor Trainer. 

Contact us to discuss custom offerings for you or your group of instructors and take a look at our Instructor Certification Workshop page too. In most cases, updates are generally available during these courses/dates. ACA guidance on updates and certification maintenance can be found here.

If you intend to register more than one student at a time, you should provide us with the registration information for each.
