BCU Star Awards are about gaining the personal skills to be able to paddle canoes and kayaks efficiently and safely in sheltered waters. These are the pre requisites for the Level One Coach (water based) award. Our training course will provide you with the training and skills to enable you to attain all the relevant pre-requisites for the BCU/UKCC Level 1 Coach
The award scheme changes at 3 Star, where paddlers must specialise in a specific craft. You can, for example, gain a 3 star in Sea Kayak or Open Canoe. Depending on your previous experience within paddlesport we may be able to progress to 3 star whilst on the programme.
The BCU/UKCC Level One Coach award enables you to teach and coach alongside other experienced coaches where you can further your skills as a paddlesport coach.
The pre-requisites for the course will all be covered in the training course leading up to a four day training / assessment for the Award.
