EnglishWhere to Find ACIA Course Schedules, Costs and Resources on acia.com.au
Updated
The ACIA website puts course information under Training & Assessment, with separate pages for Courses & Costs and Course Schedules, and member/assessment documents under Resources. You can reach all of these from the main navigation on acia.com.au. Use this guide if you are a climbing instructor or guide looking for course dates, pricing, or assessment paperwork.
Course information: where each item lives
| What you need | Where to look on acia.com.au | What the site says |
|---|---|---|
| Course types and the training/assessment scheme | Training & Assessment | The scheme focuses on training and qualification opportunities and gives instructors an incentive to build experience and ability. |
| Course prices | Courses & Costs | Listed as a top-level navigation item alongside Course Schedules. |
| Upcoming course dates | Course Schedules | Courses are scheduled in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia through Approved Course Providers. |
| Group bookings | Course Schedules / Contact | The ACIA says it is happy to liaise with you to organise courses for group bookings. |
| Member and assessment documents | Resources | "Various documents & links for membership and assessments." |
A practical route: open Training & Assessment first to confirm which qualification or course level you need, then check Courses & Costs for the fee, then Course Schedules for a date and location. If no date fits, use Contact to ask about a group booking.
Course schedules and locations
Schedules are organised through Approved Course Providers in three states: New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. The site does not list a single national calendar on the home page, so the Course Schedules page is the place to confirm current offerings rather than assuming a course runs in every state.
Two news items on the site are worth checking before you plan:
- September 15, 2025 — courses returned to New South Wales after a significant period without them, so NSW availability is recent and worth verifying on the schedule page.
- July 3, 2026 — ACIA announced new indoor climbing qualifications within its qualification scheme, responding to demand for recognised indoor climbing guides and instructors. If you instruct indoors, check whether a relevant course appears in the current schedule.
Membership and resources
Membership is open to anyone who agrees with the ACIA's aims and goals. The navigation includes Membership, Member Login, Member Benefits, Member List and Pricing, plus Resources for membership and assessment documents. If you are deciding whether to join before booking a course, read Member Benefits and Pricing together, since the site separates the two.
Getting updates and contacting ACIA
- News carries announcements such as the NSW course return and the indoor qualification expansion.
- Contact is the route for group bookings and questions the schedule pages don't answer.
The site does not state course fees, membership prices, or login requirements on the pages summarised here, so confirm costs on Courses & Costs and Pricing rather than assuming anything is free or open without an account.
