Program Introduction

The Adventure Guide diploma program is designed to train graduates to work within the adventure tourism industry as guides and/or small business owners. This program brings together various aspects of guide training under one umbrella to allow students to become qualified to guide or instruct in a selection of adventure activities, while at the same time studying the applied nature of operating an adventure business - either as a contract guide or trip operator.

The Adventure Guide diploma contains two years of course work. Some students spread the course work out over a three-year period. The program combines theoretical training in the classroom with activity training on trips throughout North America.
