UK Canyoning Association

Standards, Development, Certification

Over the last year we have been working closely with industry leaders to create a new canyoning organisation for the UK. 

The UKCA is a non-profit organisation recognised as the National Awarding and Training Body for canyoning and gorge walking activities throughout the UK. 

We aim to deliver high quality, standardised, internationally recognised training and certification. The UKCA training and certification courses are designed for all canyoneers from recreational through to professional level. Our training courses follow standards set out by professional experts and industry standards. We're responsible for promoting the highest standards of canyoning instruction and guiding, striving to ensure that canyoneers and participants enjoy quality, safe and fun experiences. Find out more HERE.

COURSE DATES

This coming season we have a range or canyoning courses from novice to advanced for both recreational and professional canyoneers. So if you are just getting into the sport, you are looking to up-skill or certify then we have a course for you.

5 / 5 ★★★★★
I have been lucky enough to have taken several canyoning training courses with The Canyoning Company, and have not been disappointed with any of them. Ben and George are fantastic instructors and the courses they provide are exceptional, whether it is a practical session in the canyon, a technical day at a training venue or a class room day in their riverside log cabin, the environment they create is an ideal situation to increase your knowledge, understanding and skills. Whether you’re just interested in finding out more or are truly passionate about Canyoning I can’t recommend taking one of their courses enough.


TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION

Some canyoning technical knowledge can be found online but fails to provide updated technical knowledge, is not consolidated into a single source or doesn’t meet the demands of the community for international standards & best practices. V7 Academy comes to serve you as the source for contemporary, advanced canyoning technical knowledge and training. V7 Academy is a platform to answer your demands for quality canyoning content, created by canyoneers, for canyoneers.
