What the Role Entails

By delivering the Flat Water Raft Racing Award you will work with paddlers to begin their journey into raft racing. You will work with paddlers to develop the specific skills required when rafting in a flat water environment.

The Flat Water Raft Racing Award is paddler-focused.

At Paddles Up Training we want you to help paddlers take charge of their learning by:

This must be from a current Flat Water Raft Racing Award Provider.

Final Recommendation

You will work with an existing Provider of the Flat Water Raft Racing Award. When you are both happy you fully understand the Flat Water Raft Racing Award and the requirements of being a Provider, they will then send us their Final Recommendation. You will then be given the Provider role. Further information about the final recommendation can be found in the Final Recommendation Guidance Document.
