Embark on our two-day training course, a comprehensive package that encompasses both ‘Sea Kayak Leader Training’ and ‘Coastal Navigation and Tide Planning.’ The primary objective is to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed for sea kayak leadership while also completing the Coastal Navigation Module. By the end of this programme, you’ll be well-prepared for your sea kayak assessment and have a personalised action plan to further your development as a leader.
Our main goal is to provide you with a holistic leadership training experience, incorporating sea kayak skills and coastal navigation. This training aims to bring you closer to readiness for your sea kayak assessment and offers a personalised action plan for your future growth. Completing the Coastal Navigation Module is an essential component of this training.
On the first day, you’ll start in the classroom, focusing on the Coastal Navigation and Tidal Planning module. Over the subsequent four days, you’ll engage in a series of journeys along the picturesque North Wales coastline. These journeys will involve practical exercises in leadership, personal skill development, safety, and rescue techniques. You’ll also apply your knowledge from the Coastal Navigation course by participating in the planning of each day’s journey.
