Canadian Wilderness Guide School Wilderness Guide Training Programs were designed for individuals considering a career as a professional guide in the outdoor adventure tourism industry. There is a high demand for skilled professional wilderness guides in North America. Our wilderness training programs provide students with the necessary skills to gain employment in this exciting and rewarding industry. Our programs are modular in nature which allows the student to master the basics before moving on to more advanced subjects.

Students can elect to take the horseback option that allows them to begin a career guiding with horses or they can elect the non-horse option courses that specialize in being a Professional Fishing Guide.
