How do I bring my qualification up to date?

To update your qualification, you will need to ensure you meet the requirements of our Update Scheme. This includes:

  • Having an up-to-date British Canoeing On the Water membership (join on-site here), or SCA, Canoe Wales or CANI if you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland respectively.
  • You will need to have taken an appropriate First Aid qualification in the last 3 years.
  • You will also need to have a Safeguarding Qualification that has been taken in the last 3 years. This can be either face-to-face or online dependent on whom you are coaching.
  • Finally, you must also undertake some CPD every three years. CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development and this can be in the form of a British Canoeing course or something external that has helped shape your coaching practice.

You can find out more in our guidance article here.
