IS IT FOR ME?

If you’ve completed all the pre-requisites, checked in and you’re feeling ready for assessment, then this is the course for you.

CONTENT

We’ll catch up online in the run up to the assessment, to chat through your assessment discussion task, run through potential venues and decide how to structure the assessment to work for you.

On the assessment day we’ll meet up at the Old Brewery in Cromarty. You’ll coach a group of 2-4 sea kayakers, either for or in moderate sea; winds up to force 4, tidal flow up to 2 knots. You’ll coach for at least 90 minutes at your choice of venue. We’ll also take a look at rescues, personal paddling skills and discuss your coaching session together. If it doesn’t look like we’ll get moderate conditions we’ll have to cancel the assessment.

You can bring your own students. You’ll know them and be able to move quickly to coaching them. Or we can supply unknown students, in which case you’ll need to spend some time getting to know them, working out what they want and need.

If you don’t live close to Glenmore Lodge we may be able to travel to you and assess you in your normal coaching environment. Please contact us to arrange an assessment that works for you.
