[Paddlewise] Instructor ratings

Hi all,

I have seen references to various instructor ratings (BCA, ACA ???). I have 
an interest in checking out these rates as a road to getting more involved in 
instructing.  Does anyone have any insight?  Do you have to go away to a 
remote part of the world for years learning secrets of the trade or is it 
possible to get a rate while still holding a job?  Websites?  East Coast 
schedules? Fun vacation/learning getaways?

Thanks 
Tom
