From the Association
of Professional Game Angling Instructor's web site:
"AAPGAI - Association of Advanced Professional Game Angling
Instructors - to advance and improve professional game angling instruction
and angling.
"AAPGAI ensures that its members are able to offer the
best informed advice and pass on their skills to customers wishing
to learn fly fishing and other game fishing techniques by a rigorous
entrance examination process covering the teaching and diagnostic
skills required to deliver first class tuition. The Association
was formed in 2003 and represents the majority of top class game
angling and fly fishing instructors in the British Isles, all of
whom hold advanced professional instructors qualifications.
"The Association's members are expected to attend continuing
professional development (CPD) events featuring new techniques,
products and developments in the sphere of game angling on a half
yearly basis. Members are actively involved teaching fly fishing
skills at all levels from children and beginners to the highest
achievable instructor grades for all types of freshwater and saltwater
game fish species."
