We offer British Canoeing Canoe Leader Training and Assessment in a number of ways.
Training
Following British Canoeing announced the launch of the Leadership qualification that will be available from 4th January 2021. WithDave recognise the direct entry to assessments and that no formal British Canoeing Leadership training is required. Now that candidates will be responsible for making decisions about what preparation they need prior to assessment. WithDave would still like to offer the provision of a training and consolidation opportunity. As a British Canoeing Leadership Provider, we are well placed to offer the third party to check for readiness for assessment suggested by British Canoeing.
Under the Leadership qualification, Canoe Leadership is to be split into Open Water and White Water. We will be offering training and consolidation in the leadership skills, the personal paddling skills, and rescue skill to meet the assessment criteria of the NEW awards in their specific environments.
Participants will have the opportunity to be assessed in the environment for the elements of the Progressive Canoe Award.
