Sea Leadership Induction
Take your sea kayaking skills to the next level
This programme is a high quality introduction for people considering employment or leadership opportunities in a coastal or sea environment. However, it's not just an instructor programme, it's for all paddlers who want to be challenged.
Have you pressure tested your skills?
Can our best sea instructors will challenge you to improve?
The course will cover developments in methodology, management, assessment and all things sea kayaking. You will learn by doing, you will learn by bouncing ideas off each other, you will learn by watching others and then analysing.
Do your management procedures stand up under scrutiny. This course will provide you with skills and procedures that will help you to develop a step by step thought process to handle potential incidents at sea under pressure.
The programme will also provide participants the opportunity to attain Australian Canoeing Award Scheme (ACAS) qualifications such as Sea Leader, Sea Guide, Sea Instructor, Advanced Sea Skills or Advanced Sea Instructor. (Further personal paddling, project work, instruction and assessment may be required beyond the time allowed in the course) Course participants will be expected to be involved in Sea Skills Workshops
