Paddle UK Awarding Body (BCAB) Leadership Award

Location: South East Wales / Brecon Beacons

Cost: £220

Course Overview

Your award will support you to run safe and enjoyable trips, based on your group’s needs and aspirations. You will lead journeys, on sheltered water, for a range of mixed craft. For example, you may choose to be on a paddleboard and lead a group of kayakers, canoers and paddleboarders.

As a Leader, you can work independently or be deployed by a club, centre or organisation to lead trips and journeys. The purpose of these trips may be wide ranging from educational experiences, social adventures or trying something new.
Learn how to inspire and empower your paddlers, keep them safe and give them a great day out.

*There are no formal Personal Performance Award or Safety Award requirements to becoming a Paddlesport Leader. However, to get the best from your course you need to feel comfortable in or on your craft and be able to independently paddle on sheltered water. Therefore, it is recommended that you hold the Paddle Explore Award before booking on your training (or equivalent).

This is a two-day training course; assessments can be arranged on an individual basis. If you feel you already have an appropriate level of skill and experience, training is not compulsory, and you may arrange an assessment directly once all pre-requisites are met.
