WHO holders of the new UKCC 2 star AND a safety course.
Those with the old 2 star kayak can take advantage of the 1 day open canoe courses to top up their skills.
The safety courses are either the old Canoe Safety Test or the new Foundation Safety and Rescue Training (FSRT) which the club will be running before April 2009.
Please note, whilst the BCU does not require a L1 to have a first aid certificate, if you wish to be registered so you can assess paddlepower, you do then need to have a first aid award of 4 hours. This probably applies mostly to those wishing to work commercially.
