Advanced White Water Kayak Leader courses
This award is for the experienced Leader looking to progress to the top of their leadership game where they can lead friends, club paddlers and clients on Advanced white water to any grade commensurate with the paddling team's abilities. This award is as much about judgement as it is about paddling skills. Your experience of judging a participant's anxiety level is one of your biggest talents at this level, because it will mean the difference between a successful descent or some very hard chase boating work for you. British Canoeing's pathway currently consists of a training course, an advanced white water safety and rescue course and an assessment. We run all three courses in either integrated form or split, leaving you to choose when to train and when to complete the assessment.
