Become an A3-Recognized Course Provider

A3 lists course providers on avalanche.org as a public service, aiming to promote avalanche education by providing a critical link for the public to increase knowledge and awareness.

In order to become listed as course providers, avalanche educators complete a self-evaluation of the course(s) they offer to ensure they meet A3 course provider guidelines. Once a provider’s application and course syllabi are submitted, they are reviewed by the Course Provider Review Committee, which issues a decision on whether to list the provider.

The A3 Education Committee oversees listings, but does not oversee or control the conduct of a course provider’s business or programming, nor does A3 differentiate between any listed course providers.

Use the links below to download the listing instructions and fill out the Course Provider Self-Evaluation. Please note that there is a one-time, non-refundable application fee beginning at $425.
