Join us and find out! MPHIA’s spectrum of Interpretive Guide Courses and accreditations are specifically designed to meet Parks Canada’s interpretive guide training requirements, but anyone who is simply curious about the mountain parks or who wants to learn more about them is welcome to attend.

Choosing the Right Course for You

People take our courses for two main reasons:

1) Personal interest and simply to learn more about the Mountain National Parks.

2) To achieve an accreditation or certificate that meets Parks Canada’s interpretive guide training requirements.

If you are taking a course simply for personal interest, you are welcome to take any of the courses listed in our course overview chart – simply choose one that interests you the most.

If you are taking a course for accreditation purposes, look at the Course Overview Chart to determine the minimum level that Parks Canada requires you to have.

Keep in mind that these are minimum requirements and that you are welcome to exceed these requirements.
