We invite a small number of practice students to workshops to support a more realistic training and assessment environment for our candidates. Here's what that can look like:
Practice students may participate in any one or more days of the workshop.
Compare being a practice student to auditing a course: exposure to learning, no stress to perform, little credit for training.
Practice students will receive instruction primarily from our candidates, yet can also expect to get some instruction directly from trainers.
In exchange for the value they provide the program, practice students pay a reduced rate for the instruction they receive.
Some portions of the workshop are designed only for candidates. During those periods, practice students will have opportunity to relax. Effort will be made to partner practice students with assisting instructors during those occasional periods so they can keep working on skills or just have fun on the water.
Practice students join our events on an invitation basis. See email from Anthony at Kayak ANT for details on the event you are registering for.
Practice students may join our events for one or more days. Select as many days as you like and register for specific days here. When you register, you'll be asked to pick days. Just select the first day you will participate for booking purposes. We'll follow-up to identify the specific days you want to attend.

Special discount rates may apply for group-sponsored events. Ask us about those or refer to email invitations.
You'll get skills instruction and a guided experience learning primarily from instructor or leader candidates at our courses, but you will also receive feedback from the trainers.
We'll take care of all permit requirements for the event.
Rental available as an add-on
If you are an ACA member, we'll report your participation in training. If you need a skills assessment, register for one as an add-on
Please bring hydration, meals and snacks with you. Options to leave the workshop for meals is sometimes unrealistic due to schedule and location.
Ask us for recommendations if needed.
The only exception is if a shuttle transport is required for the launch or landing site. This will be announced ahead of time.
Refer to the separate booking page for the event you are participating in to see what fees may be required.
