White Water Instructor Training:
This two-day course focuses on instructional skills for teaching white water kayaking in up to Grade 2 Rivers. If you are preparing for your Paddle Australia white water instructor or guide qualification, instruct for a school/club/organisation or spend time teaching in a club or recreational setting, then this course is for you.
Modelled on the Paddle Australia white water instructor assessment, your instructor will cover course preparation and set up, teaching theory and practice on flatwater and moving water and river trip planning.
You must hold a Rescue 2 or equivalent qualification to qualify for your assessment. Luckily, we have aligned our Rescue 2 courses so you can complete the training in the 2 days prior.
Although this course focuses on instruction, your instructor will provide feedback on your paddling skills relevant to the Paddle Australia instructor benchmark.
Delivered by a Paddle Australia assessor, the course content of this Instructor Training course closely follows the Paddle Australia White Water Instructor Guidelines.
Duration: 2 days
Cost: $350 members / $450 non-members
