SKI Level 4 course

SEA KAYAK LEADER TRAINING (non tidal)

The Sea Kayak Leader award from Paddle UK (formerly known as the British Canoeing 4 Star) is open to anyone with experience paddling in non-tidal moderate waters, with winds not exceeding Beaufort Force 4.

During the training you will receive the necessary training to access the assessment.

The exam day costs 150 euros and will be organized in another session.
More details will be provided during the training.

You will be supported in developing both your personal and leadership skills during two days of training alongside other sea kayakers with similar ambitions.

Additionally, this qualification is used internationally by clubs, outdoor centres, and organizations to support their sea kayaking trips in non-tidal moderate waters, including short trips or multi-day expeditions.

What can a Leader do?
You will lead groups of kayakers with varying experience levels, tailored to their needs and aspirations, in non-tidal moderate waters with winds not exceeding Beaufort Force 4.
