Coaching


 
  
 

The BCU operates a comprehensive coaching and education programme.

Access to any of the awards within the BCU scheme can be achieved via clubs, centres and coaches affiliated to the BCU UK Coaching Service via membership of their respective national association.

The BCU UK Coaching Service also provides, via national associations and a network of Regional Coaching Organisers and Local Coaching Organisers, support to coaches and endeavours to provide a range of update and personal development opportunities for coaches at all levels.
The tests and qualifications are organised into three overall categories, with levels of competence within each category:

Personal Performance and Safety
From 1 Star (Beginner) to 5 Star (Advanced)

Coaching Qualification - teaching of canoeists
From Level 1 to Level 5
The tests and qualifications are structured to take account of the type of craft being used and the type of canoeing environment, for instance very sheltered water through to advanced water (demanding conditions).

Coaching Qualification - Competition canoeists
Level 1 (Assistant Club Coach) to Level 5 (Staff Coach).
