The Assistant canyon guide is the first level of professional training that we perform at the Canyoning association of Slovenia.

Training for an assistant guide consists of two modules and lasts 10 days. In the first module, the participants get to know both theoretical and practical basis, which are crucial for a canyoning guiding - the basics of rope techniques, meteorology, cartography, guiding and first aid, etc.

In the second module, they begin to get to know more complex rope techniques, which the guides use on a daily basis at work. It is also a great emphasis on this module to learn and conquer different rescue techniques.

Training for an assistant guide is 100 hours long and is both physically and psychologically demanding. A good psychophysical readiness is expected from the candidates, which is checked on a daily through practical training.
