The British Canoeing Awarding Body Coach Award is a the benchmark for anyone wanting to deliver progressive coaching in any Paddlesport discipline from beginners through to experienced paddlers wanting to improve heir skills in the given discipline or environment. The award focuses on the Who, Where, What and How of coaching.
It is also the recommended qualification for those who are “deploying “ Instructors and leaders, whether in a commercial, club or youth organisation context.
The training is split into 2 parts, both run over 2 days:
The Core Coach module is generic for all disciplines. It looks at Who we are coaching, what are their specific needs and how we can tailor their learning experience. We look at How we can coach? Exploring different coaching models and strategies to create enjoyable and engaging learning experiences.
The Discipline Specific Training (DST) focus on the specific requirements of a discipline and environment. Where we are coaching to get the most out of the environment and the What we are coaching. Looking at the specific skills and tactics needed in the chosen craft and environment.
We currently deliver the Sheltered water Coach (Canoe and Kayak) DST and the Sheltered Water Stand-Up Paddleboard Coach DST.
Following on from the training courses you then go for a 1 day assessment following a period of consolidation.
