Paddlesport Touring Leader

British Canoeing Paddlesport Touring Leader Award

The paddlesport touring leader award will support and enable you to run safe and enjoyable journeys on moderate inland water for a range of mixed craft.

The Paddlesport Touring Leader Award is open to all paddlers! The award supports your existing skills and enables you to lead fun, safe and enjoyable trips.

Where can a Paddlesport touring leader operate?
British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddlesport Touring Leader has the ability to lead others on a successful journey in both an inland open water environment in winds up to force 4 and on slow-moving rivers up to and including grade 1, and which may include the occasional short rapid of grade 2 and simple safe weirs.

There are no formal Personal Performance Award or Safety Award requirements to completing your training. However, to get the best from your course you need to feel comfortable in or on your craft and be able to independently paddle on moderate inland water.

We also recommend attending a Paddlesport Safety and Rescue course (FSRT) prior to training to get the most from your course, see here.

We run this course over two days.
