CASTING INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (CICP)
The Casting Instructor Certification Program was established in 1992 by leaders of what was then the Federation of Fly Fishers. To understand the significance of becoming a certified instructor, view the video and learn from Rick Williams and Bruce Richards what the program has meant to them.There are three casting instructor certifications, including Certified Casting Instructor, Master Casting Instructor and Two-Handed Casting Instructor. In addition, Master Casting Instructors can qualify to become an examiner through the Examiner Development Pathway.
If you decide to pursue certification, it is recommend that you review all the material on our website as well as find an MCI who can mentor you through the process. The chance for success of passing the examinations is much greater for those who find a mentor.
