British Canoeing White Water Kayak Coach Training

Sat 19 Feb 2022 09:00 Sun 20 Feb 2022 17:00

All my courses will be run in accordance with Covid-19 regulations and guidance. While there remain restrictions on indoor gatherings, courses may 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.

  • You must not attend if you are currently experiencing any of the symptoms of Covid-19 or if you have been asked to isolate.
  • You will be expected to comply with social distancing and hygiene measures during the course.

The British Canoeing Coach Award is an entry point qualification which offers discipline-specific pathways across all disciplines. The Award is designed for people whose core function is to coach paddlers who want to gain/improve paddlesport skills within the discipline chosen. This will include coaching beginners new to the sport, or paddlers looking to develop their skills in the given discipline or environment.

This 2-day Discipline Specific Training course you will focus on how to coach technical and tactical skills in Kayaks on Moderate [Grade 2(3)]) White Water. The course will help you plan and deliver safe, enjoyable, progressive coaching sessions and you’ll explore specifics to help you coach some typical learners relevant to these craft in this environment.

You can find more details about the course at https://www.britishcanoeingawarding.org.uk/level-2-coach-award/.

You need to meet the following prerequisites before attending the course:

  1. Full ‘on the water’ membership of Canoe Wales / British Canoeing (etc.);
  2. Hold White Water Kayak Leader (or former 4* Kayak leadership Award); and
  3. Completed Core Coach Training (or the following ‘old’ British Canoeing courses, if you feel confident with their content: Level 2 (UKCC) Training OR Assessment; Moderate or Advanced Water Training OR Assessment; Level 3 (UKCC) Core Training OR Assessment

Minimum 2, maximum 4 candidates (under-18s please contact me to check suitability) .

Venue to be confirmed (somewhere in the Brecon area).

The course fee will be no more than £180, which includes coaching, equipment and certification. If more than 2 candidates attend, I will aim to reduce this fee if I can.

Course Cancellation Policy

If the course is cancelled by me, I will offer a choice between transferring fees to the next available course or receiving a full refund. Refunds will only include fees paid to me for the event, compensation will not be paid for incidental costs or expenses and I recommend that candidates use refundable vendors for accommodation, travel etc. If you cancel your place after booking, you will be liable for the full course fee unless I can recover some or all of the cost of your place from elsewhere (e.g. if you can find another, additional, candidate to take your place).
