The outdoors is a wonderful and inspirational classroom in which be able to lead, guide, and coach others is a joy and privilege. During this module, we aim to extend your personal skills and help you learn how to lead and coach safely and effectively in an ever-changing and dynamic environment.

During the module, you will experience and discover ways in which outdoor leaders change their leadership styles to accommodate their group’s needs in a diverse range of water-based environments and challenging activities such as wild swimming in the Menai Straits and coasteering off the West coast of Anglesey. You will also learn various coaching techniques and strategies, for example, tools to profile a client’s performance and create a safe and appropriate development plan for them. As a Year 2 student, you will be given the opportunity to be assessed by British Canoeing Assessors for the Paddlesport Instructor and Paddlesport Leadership Awards. If you already hold these qualifications arrangements will be made for you to work towards alternative or higher levels of qualification.

This module comprises 3 blocks of water-based activity rather than a session every two weeks as seen in Year 1. This allows us to optimise our use of favourable weather and conditions and enables you to consolidate your skill development during an intensive period. It further provides you with time to collect logbook hours required for your National Governing Body assessments. Please note that the first 3-day block is in September the week before Welcome Week and you must make sure you are available for it. The second 3-day block is in March and involves developing personal paddling skills in white-water; the third a 4-day block during the exam period in May and involves your paddlesport instructor and leadership assessments.

Goblygiadau o ran adnoddau ar gyfer myfyrwyr

Equipment: It is strongly recommended that all students buy a pair of neoprene gloves and neoprene socks to go inside an old pair of trainers for use on the water. All National Governing Body (NGB) course fees are paid for by the University, British Canoeing membership, registration fees and certificate fees however will need to be purchased by the student, follow this link to see the current British Canoeing fees. Students are also required to pay a small contribution towards the cost of the external British Canoeing Assessor for any leadership (£10) or coaching (£20) assessment. During year 2 students can expect to gain one or two Personal Paddling certificates. All students will have the opportunity to be assessed for Paddlesport Instructor and Paddlesport Leader as a minimum, but the acquisition of these qualifications is not a given. Students will need to have prepared for these industry-standard qualifications. British Canoeing membership ensures students are insured and thus able to provide courses for payment if they so wish.
