Certification Fees

Many of the leadership courses are offered as a combination Leadership and Instruction certification. Leaders, Instructors and Coaches may take multiple courses in a calendar year.

When an individual takes multiple courses in one calendar year, the Certification Fees collected will be to a maximum of $120 in the year. An example of this would be if Joe Paddler takes a Lake Kayak Instructor 1 in the spring and then does their Swiftwater Rescue in the summer and a River Kayak Leader 2 in the fall, then Joe would pay $120 in certification fees for the first course and no other fees for the other two courses. They would still have to pay the regular overhead and facilitator costs for each course but they would not have to pay the National/Provincial fees again.

Fees include provincial and national certification fees.
