Coaching Courses – Granite Adventures

BC Paddlesport Instructor

The Paddlesport Instructor course is ideal for people wanting to deliver safe and enjoyable taster sessions in very sheltered water. Perfect for clubs or centres with an on-site pond or a very sheltered bay in a larger body of water.

We are run British Canoeing Paddlesport Instructor courses right here in the North East of Scotland so local paddlers don’t need to travel. Scheduled over a weekend so are ideal for club paddlers. We can also travel to your group to reduce overall travel.

Paddlesport Instructor cost is £190. If booking this together with the FSRT we can offer both courses for £230 plus FSRT certification fees.

To help offset some of these costs SportScotland provide scholarship funding of £75 towards Paddlesport Instructor (Level 1 for SportScotland), this can be applied for online here:
