Fluid skills deliver this course all over the UK and Europe; the assessment will be over one day focusing on personal skills, leadership styles and structures on open water with up to force 4 wind. 

The assessment course will also cover aspects of rescue and safety and first aid.

There will be an assessor observing you for the day and assessed in a non-interventional and supportive way.

Successful assessment after training at this level indicates that the paddlers can consider themselves white water leaders on Grade 2/3 white water 

As they can now lead in a moderate water environment, they can do this in a competent manner and have the knowledge and ability to make decisions for the group for a safe decent of the river they have selected to use.

The Award is a leadership award not a coaching award. The open water canoe coach award  would be the suitable award for this. The Canoe leader award is a Pre requisite for the canoe  open water coach award

A full detailed action plan during the course will assist in your personal defter your cse to help you continue your development from assessment.
