The basic rafting course is for everyone who wants to be trained as a river rafting guide level 1. The course is one of three modules in our training concept for aspirant raft guides. The course is divided into two parts of 2 resp. 3 days, with the 3-day WRT-PRO course being built in after the first 2 days (see also course dates). In the 5 days of the training, the basics of river rafting are taught and applied by the participants. A high, international standard with highly qualified instructors guarantee optimal basic training for the participants in all areas of river rafting. The base in Interlaken is in the middle of the adventure sports capital of Europe and with the Aare, Simme, Saane and Lütschine we have a wide range of training rivers available. According to our training concept, we recommend to combine the basic rafting course with a Rescue3™ WRT-PRO and the Refresher Rafting Course, to accomplish the 10 training days, which are required by the SOA.
