ALPINE INSTRUCTOR COURSE Under the new collaboration announced in the fall between the Alpine Club of Canada and the Ecole Nationale d'Escalade du Québec (ENEQ) to make UIAA-certified standards for voluntary leaders and instructors in mountain sports available to ACC members across Canada, an Alpine Instructor course will be organized this summer. Alpine Instructor Course Description The certification is designed for people wishing to teach autonomous alpine activities, at any site where alpine snow, rock and ice climbing routes are available in both summer and winter conditions. This certification is not specific to a particular site; its holder will be allowed to lead trips at any site, unless specific access permits are required. Training Organization To be eligible for the ENEQ Alpine Instructor course, the candidate will need to have done the General Theory Course (GTC) as well as the UIAA Rock Instructor and the Ice Instructor course. For candidates not holding these certifications, an examination of equivalence will be organized as part of the alpine assessment exam. Twelve days of technical and pedagogical training will be conducted for teaching skills in alpine rock, ice or snow terrain. A technical assessment exam will be conducted prior to the training in order to assess and verify the technical level and knowledge of the candidates. Those who do not meet the requirements will not be allowed to participate in the course. Certification Privileges Successful completion of this course certifies the participant for teaching individuals or groups in recreational climbing activities involving autonomous glacier travel, lead climbing on single and multi-pitch routes in alpine rock, snow and ice terrain.
