ACA L2 Skills Assessment
This skills assessment course will evaluate whether your paddling skills, experience, and knowledge meet the criteria for ACA Level 2.
This course will review essential Level 2 strokes, maneuvers, rescues, and skills and assess your ability to perform them, focusing on the core skills that form the foundation of your paddling ability. It’s a great way to measure your skills to recognized standards, can help in your personal growth as a paddler, and will help you prepare for instructor development or trip leader training. Learn more about the ACA’s L2 assessment criteria. You must be an ACA member at the time of the course
