Elevate your paddling journey with the Paddle Sport Leader Assessment. Ideal for paddlers seeking to lead diverse trips on sheltered water, this award empowers you to guide mixed craft adventures.
The BC Paddle Sport Leader Assessment is designed for paddlers who are looking to take the next step in their paddling journey by becoming qualified to lead groups in sheltered water environments. This assessment recognises the capability to safely guide mixed craft adventures, enhancing the leader's versatility and effectiveness in various paddling disciplines.
Successful candidates will be awarded the BC Paddle Sport Leader Award, recognising their ability to lead safe and enjoyable paddling trips in sheltered waters.
This assessment is crucial for paddlers looking to transition into leadership roles within clubs, outdoor centres, and other organisations. It provides the skills and certification needed to conduct paddlesport activities safely and effectively, enhancing the overall quality of paddling instruction and leadership within the community.
Candidates should possess a thorough understanding of paddlesport fundamentals and have experience paddling in the craft they wish to lead. Additionally, a valid first aid certificate and completion of safeguarding training are required. You can book our comprehensive training for this assessment at the bottom of this page.
No formal Personal Performance Award or Safety Award requirements are necessary. However, we recommend holding the Paddle Explore Award (or equivalent) to enhance your experience during the 2-day assessment. It is crucial to feel comfortable paddling independently on calm water to effectively evaluate your leadership skills.
Our centre offers a welcoming environment for the Paddle Sport Leader Assessment. Join us to showcase your skills and lead with confidence. With a focus on safe and enjoyable experiences, our assessment ensures you're well-equipped for independent leadership or deployment by clubs and organisations.

It was great fun an learned so much
Thank to Mark, very good trainer
Fantastic course led by a great instructor. Highly recommend, Matt. Great facilities, food included. Pleasant and peaceful surroundings.
It was a great experience and I definitely recommend as all of the staff are lovely and I had a fun time
The course was excellent from start to finish, anyone that’s into boating or thinking about boating try this course. It has gave me the skills and confidence to buy my own boat and drive it comfortably on both the lakes and sea. Excellent value for money.
The course was very well run and information was clearly passed on to the group. Matt, who ran the course, was excellent. He really looked after us and made the two days fun and easy to follow. I’d highly recommend, especially for the breakfast and lunch
Power Boat Level 2 with Robin and Mat . Great course- loads of practical experience on the water in 2 Ribs . Heavy emphasis on safety and handling skills . Good theory too in the classroom. Thanks guys!
Matt and Robin were friendly and knowledgeable instructors - thankyou.The 2-day course itself was great and ran very smoothly.I felt we could have had a little more \'higher speed\' practice but the conditions on our second day weren\'t very good.The pre-course information was too sparse for me - I found…
One of the best things I’ve ever done. Robin and Matt are a credit to the place and made sure every aspect of the course was just perfect
