This two-day course will look at all aspects of the BC Sea Kayak Leader Award. The Leadership Award is a discipline specific award and you will be assessed in your chosen discipline and appropriate environment. For the BC Sea Kayak Leader Award this will be in the appropriate moderate water sea environment (see training guidance notes for moderate water definition).

The assessment will include personal paddling, tidal planning, navigation, equipment awareness, environmental awareness and supporting knowledge. In addition to this safety and rescue will be covered along with leadership of a group of 4 paddlers (mock students).

The course will culminate with concise feedback and an action plan to enable continued progression with paddling skills, ideally coupled with receiving your BC Sea Kayak Leader Award.

A 2 day assessment is £200 per person (minimum of 3 people.) We can now also offer 1 day assessments for up to 2 candidates. Please contact us for bespoke 1 day assessments.
