Re: BCU Courses In Devon
BCU is BRITISH CANOE UNION. Here you are looking for list of courses which is offered by BCU as you want here I am providing you. Courses Introduction To Sea Kayaking Intromediate Sea Kayaking Course Intermediate Sea Kayaking Advanced Sea Kayaking Rough Water Handling - Sea Kayaking Course/Trip Price BCU 1 Star - 1 day £80 BCU 2 Star - 2 days £160 BCU 3 Star Sea Training - 2 days £160 BCU 3 Star Sea Assessment - 1 day £80 + Reg Fee BCU 4 Star Sea Leader Training - 2 days £160 BCU 4 Star Sea Leader Assessment - 2 days £180 + Reg Fee CNTP - 1 day £60 FSRT - 1 day £80 First Aid - REC Level 2 £150 BCU 1 Star syllabus 1 Star (Generic) Syllabus. Aim The 1 Star is a clear stepping stone to becoming a paddler. Designed as a basic award, the one star is the level people would typically reach after an introductory course of six hours quality water time. Craft The award is obtained by taking the assessment in any style of kayak or canoe (where the test is taken by a doubles crew, a variation of bow and stern positions must be demonstrated). Pre-requisites Candidates must be water confident and ideally should be able to swim. This is desirable but not essential. If under 14 the learning program of Paddle Power might be more appropriate. Venue Sheltered water Assessor _ Current BCU Level 2 Coach (with registration to assess the new awards) _ New BCU (UKCC endorsed) Level 2 Coach Part A - Personal Paddling Skills A.1 Lift, carry and launching A.2 Forward paddling over a distance of 100m A.3 Steering and controlling A.4 Return to the bank and get out Part B–Rescue Skills B.1 As appropriate (dependent on craft and conditions) capsize and be rescued or swim to the shore as appropriate.

Aim This is an improvement award that helps paddlers develop fundamental paddlesport skills on flat water. The emphasis is on gaining a breadth of experience, creating the desired movement of the boat and developing an understanding into how the paddle, boat and water interact. If under 14 one should consider the ‘Paddle power’ scheme. Craft The award is obtained by taking the assessment in both a kayak and a canoe (Appropriate aspects will be assessed in either kayak/canoe, please refer to assessors notes). Any style of kayak or canoe is permissible e.g. open cockpit, sit on top, V shaped hull or flat bottomed etc. Where a doubles crew takes the test, each person must perform each task from both the bow and stern. Pre-requisites Candidates must be able to swim 25 metres wearing a Buoyancy Aid . Have experience of paddling two different craft: e.g. surf kayak, closed cockpit kayak, open cockpit kayak, closed cockpit canoe, single open cockpit canoe, racing boat, tandem open cockpit canoe, wave ski, sit on top, flat hulled boat, v-shaped hull, slalom boat, polo boat or sea kayak. IN 2 different locations e.g. Canal, river, lake/loch, or sea, (different parts of large bodies of water will count as 2 locations) AND 2 local competitions e.g. Club events, slalom, polo, sprint, freestyle, Bell boats etc. OR 2 Journeys Any journey of 2 hour + duration NB - Where a paddler or assessment candidate does not hold the lower level award a cross section of the skills and knowledge required for the lower level award should be incorporated within the training and the assessment process.

Two star standard is the appropriate level of performance for paddlers to begin working towards the three star. Pre-requisites Provide evidence of at least 3 different journeys in open canoe, of about 3 hours duration (10Km) each with at least 1 of these in an open water environment It is recommended that the candidate holds the BCU 2 Star award.
