Hi Richie,
That all sounds good. Let me know roughly when you’d like an assessment and we’ll set up a date. John will be able to give you good advice on the paperwork, and we can go through it all together before your assessment to make sure everything is in place.
Very best regards,
Kim

Hi,
I am doing the level 2 coach assessment with you at Aldwark on 9th April. Please can you advise what the format of the day was. John has asked us to bring our students from school, but cannot this time, as we tried this before and it did not work well. Last time I got the wrong impression of what was expected so can you clarify how many we will coach at a time, session length etc.
Many Thanks,
See you in a few weeks,
Emily

Hi Kim,
after some advice please – currently sea level3 & kayak level2 in the old BCU coaching awards. Have undertaken new 5 star training (have relevant Navigation qualifications) – wish to do 3 star canoe as an alternative but looking to transfer to new BCU/UKCC awards. Would it be best to go for level 2 or the revised level 3 sea coaching. I haven’t done the moderate water or coaching process course but do have an up to date 8hr first aid course (if that helps?!). I also live in the Channel Islands so attending the UK does become expensive!
Kind Regards

Jason

Hi Jason,
There are quite a few people in the situation you are in – and you have a couple of choices. I think the most direct route will be to do the UKCC Level 2 award. The UKCC Level 2 Training (or transfer) is one pre-requisite for the UKCC Level 3 anyway. To do the UKCC Level 2 assessment, you will need to be three star standard (or hold the three star) in a single blade discipline (ie canoe). You could then do the Moderate Water Endorsement Sea Kayak.

As a UKCC Level 2 with MWE Sea Kayak, you have transfered your old Level 3 to the new UKCC system.

The new Level 3 is a great qualification, and you would need to gain some of the above on route anyway, so getting to Level 2 first seems to make sense, then think about Level 3. The pre-requisites for UKCC Level 3 can be found here.

I hope this helps. Both routes have different benefits, so much depends on your circumstances and aims.

Very best regards,
Kim

Hi Kim,

I’m looking to book onto a coaching module in prep for my L2 assessment and noticed you are running some on the 13th/14th August. Could you tell me roughly where the location will be so I can decide whether the travel is feasible?

Thanks,

Becci

Hi Kim
Considering re doing the 5 star sea training course in April. I have previously done a 5 star training course in 2006 in N Wales. Done Yachtmasters theory and wondered what is possible to apl? Equally how is the April course filling?
Thanks
Nigel

Hi Nigel,
Thanks for asking. You can probably APL the Open Water and Tidal Planning module – further details can be found about this on the Canoe England website here.

The course will be running, and covers the navigation anyway, so will be a good refresher. There are still places available if you’d like one – Let me know and I’ll hold you a place while you sort the booking form out (I’ll send you an email too).
Warmest wishes,
Kim

Just wondering if your WWSR course is running on the 8/9th Feb and if so are there any places left?

If there are places, where will the course take place?

thanks

#16 | Written by Kim about 4 months ago.

Hi Liz,
Yes, this will be running and probably on the River Tees. I’ve sent you an email too, so let me know if you’d like me to hold you a place while you send through the booking form.
Warmest wishes,
Kim

Brilliant and informative course during the weekend all at sea, utilising rescue techniques and incident management. My ability to rescue and understand has improved, while my coaching toolbox has expanded further.
Thanks
