To update your qualification, you will need to ensure you meet the requirements of our Update Scheme. This includes:
- Having an up-to-date Paddle UK 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 Paddle UK course or something external that has helped shape your coaching practice.
