SUMMARY:CANCELLED 21-22 Oct 2020 British Canoeing Paddlesport Instructor Award course (by Steve Rayner Outdoor Pursuits)
DESCRIPTION:***Cancelled due to Covid Lockdown*** \nAll my courses will be run in accordance with Covid-19 regulations and guidance. \nThe British Canoeing Paddlesport Instructor qualification is for people aged 14+ whose main focus of work is delivering paddlesport taster/starter sessions within clubs\, centres or other organisations. The qualification is not discipline specific and is suitable for instructors who work with paddlers from any of the competitive and non-competitive paddlesport disciplines. \nThe process of completing the qualification aims to help prepare candidates for their first paddlesport instructing role; ‘primed and ready’. \nWhile there remain restrictions on indoor gatherings\, most courses will include video-conference sessions to cover ‘classroom’ topics. These will usually be a few days before and/or after the main ‘practical’ (outdoor) sessions\, arranged to suit participants on each course. The dates shown below are for the ‘practical’ sessions only. \nVenue to be confirmed (somewhere in the Brecon area). \nCost £150 (maximum) per person (non-residential). \nCandidates need to: \n\nbe aged 14 or over;\nbe members of Canoe Wales / British Canoeing (etc.);\nregister for the Award with Canoe Wales / British Canoeing (etc.) – cost £45;\nhave attended a British Canoeing Foundation Safety and Rescue Training (FSRT) course; and\nhave personal paddling (equivalent to the former 2*-level) and rescue competence in one type of craft (kayak\, open canoe\, sit on top\, or stand up paddleboard).
