Description

Qualify for entry-level leadership and guiding positions with sea kayaking and river rafting companies, coastal and mountain resorts, sailboat-based tours, whale and wildlife tour operators, outdoor centres, youth wilderness programs and camps, adventure therapy programs, interpretative centres and other rewarding settings.

You will be well-prepared with relevant outdoor leadership skills that transfer across a variety of career paths and professions such as conservation officer, park ranger, teacher, community recreation programmer, field researcher or assistant (biology, geology, etc.), professional ski patroller and other industries and services.

Outdoor guiding requires strong leadership, interpersonal, and interpretative skills as well as a high level of expertise and knowledge in specific skill areas. During the program, you’ll develop and practice valuable career skills while training in sea kayaking, canoeing, sailing, river rafting, mountain travel, wildlife viewing, wilderness first aid and other outdoor education specialties. All courses are highly experiential, giving you the opportunity to progressively build your knowledge and confidence.

Applied theory courses will provide you with a more comprehensive view of the adventure guiding industry, including a focus on sustainability, law and ethics and cross-cultural skills. This includes learning through Aboriginal tourism interactions as part of guiding on the coast. Course hours are divided between the classroom and the field. Classmates frequently take turns co-leading while instructors provide support, direction and feedback.

Formal and informal evaluation, which is ongoing throughout this program, takes place in the classroom and in the wilderness. In addition to achieving industry-recognized certifications, you will receive college grades and credit based on practical skills evaluations, contributions to group learning, presentations, assignments, quizzes and exams.

The Adventure Guiding certificate provides transfer credit toward many adventure, outdoor recreation, outdoor leadership and tourism diplomas, including as the first year of NIC’s Tourism & Hospitality Management Diploma-Adventure Guiding Option, or toward other post-secondary institutions in BC.

Supply List

Outdoor gear is an important part of the Adventure Guiding program. NIC provides most of the group equipment but you are required to have certain articles of clothing and equipment to participate in field activities. Please review the supply list document for complete information.

How to Be Successful

Success in this program and the industry requires much more than simply liking the outdoors or paddling a kayak! 

  • We recommend consulting with a Program Coordinator before selecting your field specialty courses.
  • As a successful adventure guide, you learn from everything you encounter. You are hungry to learn from an intense mix of classroom and field experiences.
  • You must care for yourself and others, developing skills in helping individuals to learn to be comfortable in unfamiliar and sometimes challenging situations.
  • Guiding needs a “service” attitude where you shape, meet, and exceed client expectations. With creativity and knowledge, successful guides cheerfully adapt to constantly changing dynamics, such as weather, sea conditions, personalities and equipment limitations. Owning or managing a company requires these same principles to be applied in your full-cycle relationship with clients or guests. From the moment they learn about your company until after their trip or experience, all your communications count!
  • Pay attention to details, deadlines, and the quality of your interactions. Come ready to learn, practice, have fun and refine these same skills with your classmates and instructors.
  • We encourage you to read “Risk Management for Outdoor Programs: A Guide for Students” prior to the start of classes. This document is used as a reference for the Guiding Skills course, and is good preparation for your studies.
