Acerca de
La American Canoe Association (ACA) ha desarrollado una de las mayores y más progresivas redes de Instructores de Seguridad y Rescate en Ríos del mundo. Esta formación es impartida por el fundador de R3 y experto en rescate Jim Coffey. Aprender a ser Instructor de Rescate bajo la tutoría de Jim proporciona a los candidatos una forma de pulir sus propias habilidades (Taller de Desarrollo de Instructores-IDW), así como obtener la certificación para enseñar (Examen de Certificación de Instructores-ICE). Muchos grupos (guías fluviales, campamentos de verano, kayakistas), por ejemplo, invierten para que instructores externos formen a su personal. Ahora, pueden invertir en su propio personal para que sea competente y pueda formar al resto de su personal. Esta es una forma divertida, desafiante y gratificante de mejorar en el mundo del salvamento fluvial.
