Do you paddle on moving water? Do you want the skills to stay out of trouble? Want to know what to do if either you or others get into trouble on the river? Then the Advanced White Water Safety course (AWWS) is for you!
Your course will support you to consider safe practices, provide practical solutions to common issues and appropriate responses to incidents, providing peace of mind when venturing out onto the rivers.
This 2 day course is aimed at those paddling as peers and covers a range of topics that include emergency planning & procedures, chase boating, equipment rescues and scenarios and much more.This course is designed to support paddlers to be independent participants on grade 3 & 4 white water rivers. Paddlers can access the course with their preferred craft which can include kayaks, rafts, canoes and stand up paddleboards.
The Advanced White-Water Safety course is a 2-day programme that consists of 12 modules. This can be delivered in a weekend or modular, over a maximum of an eight-week period to suit you.
Please note, this course will replace the Advanced White Water Safety and Rescue course (AWWSR) on the 2nd January 2024, however both the AWWS and AWWSR are recognised as pre requisites for the relevant qualifications e.g Advanced White Water Leader, Raft Guide Grade 4 etc
