INDIKA Certification


India’s only progressive whitewater certification — built for Indian waters, real skills, and honest assessment

INDIKA Certification


India’s only progressive whitewater certification — built for Indian waters, real skills, and honest assessment

GoodWave has partnered with IFASR (Indian Federation of Adventure Sports and Recreation) and World Obstacle to bring you India's first accreditation system for whitewater kayaking — INDIKA, the Indian Kayaking Certification Programme.

Modelled along the lines of the ACA (American Canoe Association), INDIKA aims to establish a consistent structure and clear guidelines for whitewater kayaking education across India. The programme covers five progressive levels, from flatwater foundations through to advanced whitewater skills, each with defined assessment criteria and nationally recognised certifications.

How It Works

Students can complete a course with any organisation in India, but certification requires an assessment conducted by a certified INDIKA panel instructor. Here's the process:

1. Register for your desired certification level on the INDIKA website and select a certifying instructor from the panel.

2. Complete your assessment — the certifying instructor evaluates whether you can demonstrate the required skills for that level.

3. If the assessment is successful, the instructor submits the results on the INDIKA platform and your certificate is issued.

Certification is independent of where you trained — it's about what you can do, not where you learned it.
