| HOW CAN I JOIN THE ACIA? MEMBERSHIP Membership is open to anyone who agrees with the objects of the association (see background info ). Membership fees are $80 per year and provide for the ongoing operations of the organization. For this fee, the member will be on the national registry of guides, have voting privileges, receive all ACIA benefits (professional discounts, insurance, etc.) and receive a quarterly newsletter. An associate membership of $20 is available for organizations (gyms, climbing schools, etc.) or non-accredited individuals who wish to support the ACIA. APPLYING FOR A COURSE A completed application and $100 deposit will reserve your place on any course (for further information see training and assessment & course schedules ). Final payment is due three weeks prior to course start date. Any course that doesn't reach its minimum number of applicants three weeks prior to start date will be cancelled and deposits return or applied to a future course (applicant's choice). Deposits will only be returned to anyone who cancels or changes their booking three weeks or more before the course start date. Payment and Receipts Full payment is due three weeks prior to start date unless other arrangements have been made. Receipts will not be sent out, but will be distributed during the course. Credit cards may be used, but will incur a 4% bank charge additional to course cost. |
