Five Star Award
Canoe Control five Star Kayak training and assessment (kayak). These courses are available in a number of locations in the South West.
Successful performance at this level indicates that a candidate has entered the top level of performance, involving a high level of personal skill and leadership in advanced situations. It is a leadership award and the appropriate test for paddlers who wish to lead groups of paddlers on advanced river journeys in whitewater kayaks. The five Star Kayak leader has the skills and judgment to select appropriate river trips for paddlers with a range of experience.
Pre-requisites
