Instructor Trainer Transfer Process

In recognition of the training Instructor Trainers have already received, they are able to transfer their certification to a roughly equivalent level (see Instructor Trainer Groups, below) and do not need to complete more mentorships in the same or another discipline.

Instructor Trainers can apply to receive another IT certification if they meet all prerequisites, and their current IT certification is in the same or a higher IT group.

Transfer Process Overview

Application

Login to the Members Website and register a new Instructor Trainer Transfer course of the desired level. You must complete all required fields. Ensure you meet all the prerequistes (required certifications and teaching experience)

Instructor Trainer Groups

Instructor Trainer certifications are divided into 3 groups, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The certifications within each group are similar in their requirements of skill level, instructor experience, and the depth of understanding of instructing and coaching.

An IT with a certification in one IT group (for example, a Basic River Kayak IT in the Silver group) can apply to transfer within or below their group (for example, Wilderness Camping IT - also in the Silver group) provided they meet all prerequisites of the new certification (Wilderness Camping IT). There is a process to follow detailed above in the flow chart, starting with the IT online application.
