This course is based on the Paddle Australia Qualifications Framework for guiding recreational paddlers on flat water trips on lakes, estuaries, rivers, and sheltered bays. For this reason, a guide or Instructor will need to be a highly competent paddler in the particular environment, range of conditions and type of boat used by recreational paddlers before coming to this course.
A Skills Review can be conducted beforehand to enable time to hone skills. This will enable more course time to focus on the needs of guides and instructors. Contact education@nsw.paddle.org.au to arrange. Bring your own craft and equipment or request to hire.
If a participant has completed a previous PaddleNSW Guide/Instructor Training Course or undertaken Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) review, they can apply to undergo assessment during the course. This must be confirmed before the course start date.
