Hi Tom, I don't have any good info on ACA courses but Great BCU courses and training are available from several locations on the east coast. My preferred source is Maine Island Kayak Company (MIKCO) on Peaks Island, Maine _at_ www.maineislandkayak.com. The are a premier British boat dealer and guiding / instruction company with the emphasis on instruction. They are part of the Nordkapp Trust which is a world wide network of the top BCU training sites. These people are living the dream of professional kayak instructors and guides at the top of their field. They have an amazing course of study from serious beginners up to expert seakayaker. I could write for hours about these people and never do them justice, best to navigate their site and decide for yourself. I have no affiliation with MIKCO other than being an extremely satisfied customer, I receive no special treatment and would remain unknown to them if not for recent conversations about my own training requests. If they are not local to you, search their site for other Nordkapp Trust members. I suspect all of the Nordkapp Trust members are of excellent quality. Best of luck!
