Level 2 Paddlesport Coach Training
The Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Paddlesport is the next step on the paddlesport coaching pathway and introduces the skills and coaching behaviours required for developing performance through progressive coaching.
Level 2 coaches are trained and assessed to work independently in the planning, delivery and review of progressive and developmental sessions for their paddlers.
The qualification is available as either a bank-based or boat-based award, and is certificated as either a single discipline (canoe or kayak) or dual discipline (canoe and kayak).
To achieve the Level 2 certificate you will need to successfully complete three components; a training course and period of consolidation and an assessment day.
This four day intensive course covers the training course component.
