The Open Water Canoe Leader is designed to get you out leading paddlers on large windy lochs or tidal estuaries. We'll be based in the Trossachs for this formal British Canoeing Awarding Body training course. 

We'll examine everything from leadership philosophy and methodology to venue selection, risk management, and the other skills you need to manage a fleet of up to six canoes. Regarding equipment, we can help you outfit yourself with specialist bits, but you will need your paddling clothing. 

The Trossachs' focus on the journey makes this award perfect for those working in clubs, centres, and organisations. It also works well with a Paddlesport Instructor Award to increase one's remit and lead fun journeys or as the first step towards an Open Water Canoe Coach Award.  

Although we are mainly based in the Trossachs, get in touch if you have a venue you'd like to use or would like a bespoke programme. We can tailor the course to your needs.
