SUMMARY:12-13 Jun 2021 British Canoeing Paddlesport Instructor Award course (by Steve Rayner Outdoor Pursuits)
DESCRIPTION:All 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).

SUMMARY:7-8 Jun 2021 (2 evenings x 2 hours) Minimising Disturbance to Marine Wildlife (by Adventure WiSe)
DESCRIPTION:The online Adventure WiSe course Wales is a new course presented as part of the WiSe Scheme suite of professional practitioner courses. The aim of the WiSe Scheme has always been to promote responsible wildlife-watching\, through training\, accreditation and raising awareness amongst boat operators\, adventure/wildlife guides\, dive boat operators\, etc. \nThe new Adventure WiSe course has been developed to be the WiSe Scheme professional standard for: \n\nSea kayakers\nWild swimmers\nCoasteering practitioners\nStand-up paddle boarders\nSnorkellers\nCoastal rock climbers\nCoastal walkers\nCoastal Foragers\n\nto help them minimise disturbance to marine and coastal wildlife. \nThere will be four-modules delivered in two-hour sessions over two consecutive evenings and will be run by our highly experienced instructors. Course content will focus on interacting safely with cetaceans\, basking sharks\, seals\, otters and seabirds\, and specifically how to minimise disturbance on these species\, as well as rocky shore and foraging good practice. \nThe course will be structured around five key messages relating to the following topics: \n\nSeasonality & Location\nGroup size\nDistance\nTime\nSafety\n\nTimetable: \nEach of the four sessions will be a mixture of presentational material followed by an opportunity for questions and a short quiz on the material just presented. During the presentations you will be muted\, but able to put thoughts and questions into the chat window. There will be another WiSe trainer answering questions as they appear in the chat who will bring key questions to the attention of the presenter in the Q&A session at the end. The course schedule is: \nMon 7th June 19.00 – 21.00 \n\nWelcome & introduction to WiSe\nThe five key messages\nMarine wildlife legislation\nSeals & otters\nBasking shark\n\nTues 8th June 19.00 – 21.00 \n\nCetaceans\nShoreline – focus on rocky shore + Biosecurity and invasive non-native species\nSeabirds\nBlue Health\nAssessment based on the five key messages\nFeedback\n\nThe final session will involve a slightly longer set of assessment questions based around the five key messages and the material presented throughout the two evening sessions. \nWiSe recognises attending two sessions on back to back nights may be tricky. However\, this is a certified training course\, so attendance is required at both sessions in order to receive the Adventure WiSe accreditation. \nAttendees who pay the single attendance fee and attend both sessions will: \n\nBecome Adventure WiSe accredited.\nCommit to abide by not only national and local laws on wildlife conservation and disturbance avoidance\, but also the WiSe codes of conduct\, in addition to any local wildlife-watching codes.\nReceive digital versions of the WiSe Codes of Conduct\, a certificate of attendance PDF\, a waterproof WiSe Adventure sticker for their boat/craft\, and electronic versions of the Adventure logo for promotional materials if required.\nBe listed in our accredited WiSe operator pages (if you provide your details during registration).\n\nWiSe recommends that after three years\, all accredited individuals at the Adventure WiSe level then undertake a Master WiSe course to upgrade their level of membership. \nBook via the ‘Event Website’ link which you’ll find at the bottom of our event listing. \nAlso\, see www.wisescheme.org for further information on levels\, and to access the contact form for any follow up queries.

SUMMARY:7 Jan 2021 Webinar: getting your adventure offerings to a wider audience via 'Airbnb Experiences'
DESCRIPTION:Through their ‘Curious Cymru’ project\, Snowdonia-Active (SWOAPG’s counterpart in North Wales) is working with individuals and businesses to develop unique new tourism products which showcase the wonderful landscape\, people and heritage of North Wales and to launch them on the Airbnb Experiences platform. \nThis webinar\, hosted by Pembrokeshire Outdoor Charter Group (SWOAPG’s counterpart in West Wales)\, is an opportunity for Snowdonia-Active to share their learning and experience. \nCome along to find out more and to hear from one of the businesses they have worked with. \nWhat’s an Airbnb Experience?…It’s an activity that goes beyond the typical tour or class\, designed and led by locals. They make people feel connected and give access to unique places and activities that can’t be found anywhere else. \nYou don’t have to be an established business or own an Airbnb property to host an experience. If you have a lockdown project which you could turn into an Experience this is your chance to; \n• Show off your region\, craft\, cause\, or culture by hosting an experience.\n• Give locals and travellers a way to disconnect from the digital and reconnect with themselves through a one-of-a-kind activity\, designed by you. \nAirbnb Experiences can be quite simply adapted to ensure they meet Covid-19 regulations. They are only available to groups of less than 10 people (so suit household bubbles) and outdoor experiences are particularly popular. \nClick here to book your place on the webinar.
