BCU 2 Star Training/ Assessments -

To undertake a 2 star course there must be at least 1 other paddler in the group besides the Assessor/ instructor = a max of 3 people. This person does necissarly need to take the assessment but be present for the candidate to demonstrate leadership.

Kayaking and Canoeing 2 star awards:-

This course is about getting to grips with the fundamentals needed to paddle different craft safely on waterways anywhere. These include personal paddling skills, safety and rescue, leadership, group skills, and paddling theory needed for paddling a kayak and a canoe. This course runs over two day providing time for the river journey to take place in a Canoe & Kayak at a relaxed pace.

If candidates have more experience in either a kayak or open canoe and have already completed a river journey, then I can offer an intensive 1 day course visiting 2 different locations if needed (based upon prior experience). 

If a candidate meets all the prerequisites and can prove their paddling ability, safety, knowledge and leadership on the day then just an assessment can be offered. 

Whether you want to push your skills, theory or experience I will work on the core skills you need to go paddling.
