Want to learn how to coach in advanced conditions on the sea? The British Canoeing Sea Kayak Coach (Advanced Water) Training course is for you.
Refresh and develop the coaching skills learned in your British Canoeing Core Coach Training course and learn how to apply them practically in the advanced water sea environment. Gain the knowledge you need to pass the British Canoeing Sea Kayak Coach (Advanced Water) Assessment with this in-depth 2-day British Canoeing endorsed training course.
As a British Canoeing Sea Kayak Coach (Advanced Water), you will be able to plan and run progressive, student centred coaching sessions on the sea in any conditions you deem appropriate for your learners. This can include coaching everyone from beginners new to the sport, to experienced sea kayakers looking to improve their skills.

By the end of the two days, you will clearly know what to expect from your assessment.
