Hi all,
Later this month(29th Nov 09) I will be running an Irish Canoe Union Level 3 Kayak Skills Assessment, the assessment will be take place on either the rivers Kings,Nore or Barrow with a final decision being made in the days previous to the assessment pending on water levels.
The Level 3 Kayaking Skills Award aims to enable participants to;
- Kayak safely and competently on river up to and including Grade 2 rivers as a member of a group.
- Be capable of negotiating obstacles likely to be encountered on Grade 2 rivers.
- Assist in rescues.
- Foster further participation in canoeing.
This assessment to open to anyone but it is suggested that you have completed the ICU Level 2 kayak skills previously.
I realise that very few people enjoy the pressure of assessments so I run these assessments as just another day on the river without making it feel like an exam. This non-interventions method helps you relax so you can enjoy the day and perform at your best.
A PDF copy of the ICU Level 3 kayak skills syllabus can be found..
The cost of this one day assessment is €40 (ask about student/un-employed discount) which includes the certificate administration fee from the ICU who will post certs directly to successful candidates. Spaces are extremely limited so If you would like to book on to this assessment or have any questions please drop me an email info@adrianshanahan.com .
Cheers,
Adrian
