I just got an email with a list of courses run in the area next term if anyone wants to do them.

2 Oct               Foundation Safety & Rescue Training (FSRT)

                        This will be run in the Lichfield area. Cost will be £30 excluding BCU fees.

 

 

9-10 Oct          2 day first aid course (16 hour)

This award is suitable for all BCU courses and is a mixture of classroom and lots of practical sessions. The venue is still being confirmed but is likely to be within the Birmingham area. Cost will be £60, excluding certification fees.

 

 

16-17 Oct        Coach Level 2 transfer course

The transfer course has been increased to two days to give us more time to cover all the content of this award. This is aimed at existing level 2 coaches (or above) who wish to transfer to UKCC. It will be run at Upton Warren and cost will be £80, excluding BCU registration costs.

 

 

23-24 Oct        Whitewater Safety & Rescue course (WWS&R)

This will be run in N Wales. Cost will be £60 excluding accommodation and BCU certification fees.

 

 

6-7 Nov           4 star Leader Open Canoe training course.

The venue for this is still to be arranged but is likely to be N. Wales. Cost will be £60 excluding accommodation.

 

 

11-12 Dec       4 star Leader Whitewater (kayak) training course.

The venue for this is still to be arranged but is likely to be N. Wales. Cost will be £60 excluding accommodation.

 

With all the above courses, booking is via Ian Dallaway. It is important to book early for these courses as they have filled up quickly in the past. More information on all the above is available on request.

I would also be quite interested in the 4*. I have the old 4*, but I think the new one is pretty different, I could certainly do with brushing up on leading and rescue skills.

AvatarThe new 4* is well worth it - but remember that you have to do the training weekends first, then the white water safety basic course and then the final 4* assessment. So it takes a few weeks out - though it was a good laugh when me, madi, ben, iain and dom did it the other year.

Avatar@Jon: The old 4*, which I've also got, is more like the new 3*. The new 4* is a leadership award, qualifying you to lead, but not coach, on whitewater.

I'll email Ian and see if he's got any places left.

Dont know whether it counts as good, but its the Leam Trip. 4* is the same time as Freshers trip - worth thinking about in terms of drivers and river leaders.
