RFP is excited to be working with Curling Alberta to bring the CIT training program to RFP and Curling Alberta Members!

This program is intended for individuals who are new to the industry who are looking for a career in ice making and need to learn the skills of installing, maintaining and removing ice in a dedicated curling facility for league and bonspiel play. These individuals may need to supervise Assistant Curling Ice Technicians as well. At the completion of this course, students are to receive “Curling Ice Technician – Trained” status.

The length of the program varies:

  • if a full install is required, this course may require 3-4 days while students help hands-on with the ice installation
  • if the ice is already installed, the course requires 2.5 days while students go through a theoretical discussion about installation

  • “Trained” Assistant Curling Ice Technician Program
  • World Curling Federation – Introduction to Ice Maintenance (Online)
  • 12 Months working at a Curling facility under the supervision of a Certified Curling Ice Technician.
