Course Programme

To provide candidates with a level of knowledge and skill to render first aid in a range of

emergency situations in an outdoor environment where advanced medical assistance may be

delayed. To provide BCU coaches with an “intermediate” understanding of first aid in an outdoor

environment.

 

Please note on successful completion of Level 1 of this course there is a £9 (£6 BC members) certification fee payable directly to British Canoeing Lifeguards. On completion of Level 1 + 2 the fee is £18 (£12 BC members).

 

Pre-requisites

Be a minimum of 16 years of age. 

 

Personal Clothing and Equipment

No boating equipment is needed, but many scenarios are outside so please dress for the conditions. 

 

Other Facilities

Please note we have a reasonably priced café on site that provides hot and cold food and refreshments, if you prefer to bring a packed lunch then that’s fine but we would ask that this is consumed away from the café area if it is busy. A water bottle/hydration system to take afloat/use at the bank side is recommended.
