    We do everything we can to take the stress out of assessments, we are focused on the journey and not the destination. The experience will be safe, engaging and enjoyable, with you at the heart of the process, involving you in as much of the decision making as possible.

    By the end of the assessment, you will have to demonstrate knowledge and skills in four areas:

    1. Participant focused leadership skills
    2. Personal paddling skills
    3. Rescue skills
    4. Underpinning background knowledge, understanding and experience
    HELP AND SUPPORT AHEAD OF YOUR ASSESSMENT

    Every leader will prepare differently for their assessment, however, you can check your readiness for assessment using:

    1.  The Paddlesport Leader Assessment Guidance – this explains in detail the standard required
    2.  Skills Checklist – can be used to self-profile and check if you’re ready for assessment

    If you’re nervous about your assessment and want to make sure you’re ready, why not ask a Paddlesport Leader Provider to check your readiness for assessment?

    The Paddlesport Leader journey is personalised to anyone who takes the award and depends on your existing experience. There is optional Paddlesport Leader training, which covers the required leadership skills and associated personal skills, safety and rescue skill. These courses vary between 2 and 5 days, with longer courses giving you more opportunity to practice. Alternatively, you can opt for bespoke training opportunities, for example shadowing at your club or centre, private tuition, symposiums, to up-skill in the areas that you need. The assessment takes place over 1 or 2 days depending on the logistics relating to access to suitable environments.
