We at Uteguiden invite you to our Rafting Guide Course. This course is meant for beginners and those who want an exciting job as a raft guide in the future!

During this 5-day course, you’ll get all the tools and skills to be assessed further on to become a rafting guide. The course follows the standards of the International Rafting Federation (IRF) and is part of their Guide Training & Education Program (GTE). This means, once you get certified as a raft guide, you get excellent competence and higher chances to get a job all over the world as a rafting guide certified through the IRF!

The main focus of the course is practical learning, but there will also be important parts of theory along the way. You will learn how the river behaves, how to handle various hazards and obstacles in the river, and the rafting techniques on how to manoeuvre the raft safely through the rapids. Safety, first aid, communication on the river, teamwork and equipment are also important aspects that you will be taught.

After the course, we encourage you to start training with a rafting provider with the guidance of a certified guide/instructor. This means that you should have as many trips as possible as a second guide in the raft with a rafting provider to gain the necessary experience and competence to become a guide once you get approved from their Head Guide / Instructor of that company.
