All,

Please pass on to leaders that might be interested:

There will be a course running designed to take leaders with little canoeing or kayaking background and turn them into canoeing coaches.

In total there will be 10 days on the water training resulting in the following National governing body qualifications:

- British Canoe Union 2 New 2 star award.

- British Canoe Union Foundation Safety and Rescue Award.

- UK Coaching committee Level 1 Canoe sport award.

The awards are recognised by Scouting and guiding as well as commercial outdoor canters. The prerequisites will be first aid and CRB. If you are lacking first aid that can be arranged for an additional £40.

By the end of the course leaders should be qualified to take canoes or kayaks with a group of up to 8 on flat water.

The course is heavily subsidised, In most cases 10 days of training with all the above would cost £700 + because the majority of instructors are giving their time for free we just have to hire in coaches for the bits that we cant do. The total cost of this course will be about £210, less if you have the new 2 star (or old 2 star in Kayak and Canoe), FSRT or are a member of the BCU.

I have 10 places to fill and this will be opened up to Scouting and Guiding in the Avon area followed by the canoe clubs, so I expect places to go fast.

All equipment will be provided.

There is the possibility of getting help with the cost of the course, however this will take some effort writing to people and normally there would be an expected commitment of you using the qualification.
