Paddlesports Leader
Multicraft Leadership in Sheltered Water
What is it?
The British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddlesports Leader Award is the perfect award for those wishing to lead groups in a sheltered water environment.
It was initially written to be a multi-craft award, allowing you as a leader to lead canoes, kayaks and paddleboards from whichever craft you are most comfortable in. It is now possible to be assessed on only one type of craft, rather than always being multi-craft.
Where is it?
The Sheltered Water environment is inland waters up to 200 meters offshore in Force 3 winds and on simple rivers with no rapids.
Who's it for?
Perfect for people operating in clubs and centres that lead beginner and novice paddlers taking their first longer journeys.
Training
Open Course
Our Paddlesports Leader Training courses take place from our loctaion in Killin, from there we meet in the morning and work start to form a plan based on the weather and the groups needs and then head off to the best locations, from our base we have lots of fantastic venues to let you really explore and learn the tools you'll need to operate as a leader.
Group Courses
As well as offering open courses from our base, we're also happy to travel to your venue for groups and work with you there. All that differs is the locations we still explore and learn the tools your team will need to operate as leaders.

Assessment
We offer one-on-one and group assessments. You’ll notice that we don't have many available dates on the calendar, as part of the assessment process involves planning the day. Please get in touch with us to discuss dates and assist you with venue selection.
We're based in the Trossachs, a fantastic area full of possibilities for this award, but if you'd prefer to be assessed elsewhere, that's not a problem.
Remember that you must also have a Paddle Scotland membership and be registered for the award before the assessment.
