Training and Courses
The BCU Paddlepower and star tests are internationally recognised awards that assess paddling skills, safety and leader training.
We are able to offer introductory beginners courses as well training and assesment of the following BCU awards. See the club calender for more details of specific courses.
The BCU One Star is a flat water award that demonstrates an individual has basic boat control and foundation skills.
The BCU Two Star is an improvement award that helps paddlers develop fundamental paddlesport skills on flat water.
Dates:
BCU Three Star level indicates that a candidate can consider themselves an intermediate paddler rather than a beginner. The award is discipline specific with awards in Sea Kayak, Surf, Open Canoe, White Water Kayak, Flat Water Kayak and some of the competitive disciplines.
Foundation Safety and Rescue provides paddlers with key saftey and rescue skills to deal with common emergancies in a flat water enviroment.
Rolling is a useful skill that will give you more confidence in your boat. The club runs rolling courses at an indoor pool. We can then help you transfer this skill outside on the lake or at a nearby moving water venue.
Special courses for youth groups based on the paddlepower or DofE award scheme can also be arranged. Please contact us to disscus your requirements.
