Custom Designed Training
In custom designed training workshops, we will work with you to assess the unique training needs of your staff, program and facility. We will then design a training workshop specifically to meet these needs.
Custom design workshops can focus on a variety of training areas including: facilitation workshops for low element courses; facilitation workshops for team based courses; advanced facilitation workshops; technical skills workshops for specific elements; universal design facilitation and technical skills workshops; accessible design facilitation and technical skills workshops; adventure therapy workshops.
CUI travels across Canada to provide custom designed training workshops. Workshops can range from 1-5+ days. These workshops are focused specifically on our client's staff training needs, program design and the challenge course facilities at their sites. At the end of the training workshop, the site will receive a written skill evaluation for each participant.
Certification Training
History of Certification
The Association For Challenge Course Technology, (ACCT), had well accepted standards for Design and Installation, Inspections, Operations, and Ethics; but not a system for accrediting certification systems used by the Professional Vendor Members, (PVMs) of the association. PVMs used the Operations Standards to assist in the design of their training workshops and certification systems.
From 2005-2007, the Certification Standards Committee of the ACCT wrote, used outside consultation and a broad feedback loop to create Certification Standards. The PVMs of the ACCT unanimously voted to accept the ACCT Certification Standards in February 2007. These standards are contained in the 7th Edition 2008 ACCT Standards.
The Certification Standards guide PVMs in the design of their own Certification Systems and provides a consistent system/framework for certification that PVMs can use. In August 2007, PVM's who wished to be accredited by ACCT, for certification training services that use the ACCT Certification Standards, had their certification system reviewed by the ACCT.
CUI Certification Training Accredited by ACCT
In August 2007, CUI's certification system was reviewed by the ACCT according to the new ACCT Practitioner Certification Standards that were released in June 2007.
CUI received accreditation by ACCT for Full Certification Training Services. It is important to remember that ACCT is not providing an ACCT certification, rather they are accrediting CUI's certification system to the ACCT Practitioner Certification Standards. CUI is accredited as a Professional Vendor Member of the ACCT, which has reviewed and approved CUI as a provider of practitioner certification services that meets their standards.
