Pro Deals - Whitewater & Ice
For whitewater rescue and ice rescue courses:
Groups like Paddle Canada Instructor Members, Outward Bound Staff, and SAR teams have set up pro-deals with us.
Pro deals are for 5% to 10% off tuition and are for river professionals (guides, instructors, athletes) and emergency responders.
Each group has a promo code that river pros can use to get the discount. If you don’t know your code: contact us anytime—or find out from whoever manages pro deals at your organization.
If you believe you or your members should have a pro deal: reach out to us—and we’ll set it up.
WRT Combo
If you’d like to take the Whitewater Rescue Technician Levels I, II, & III course, but you can’t make it to one of the scheduled 5-day blocks or two-weekend courses:
- combine any 2-day WWR I & II and 3-day WRT-Bridge III across Canada in the same year
- pay the price of the 5-day course, instead of the two separate courses
- this will save you up to $189
- How to do this:
Register for any 2-day WWR I & II course
Contact our office and let us know which 3-day WRT-Bridge Level III course you want to join
We’ll then set you up with a discount code for the second part of your combo—or we can register for you
You can combine this discount with any other pro-deal or multi-student special
