BCAB White Water Leader Training
Join us for our two‑day White Water Kayak Leader Training — a course designed to equip you with the skills and confidence to safely lead others on moderate whitewater. Whether youre looking to lead professionally, volunteer with your club or just get more experience leading, you won’t regret joining this course.
Throughout the training, you’ll develop essential leadership techniques along with the safety and rescue skills needed to guide groups on Grade 2 (3) rivers, all while continuing to advance your own personal paddling.
Experience Required
To make the most of this two‑day training, you should already have a broad and reliable skill set on Grade II–III rivers. This foundation will help you absorb the leadership concepts we’ll be exploring.
Completion of the British Canoeing White Water Safety course is also required before you move on to the assessment.
