No experience needed. The British Canoe Union / Paddle UK Paddle Safer Award gives new and novice paddlers the opportunity to develop their safety skills when taking to the water. The course is designed for anyone new to paddling, or relatively inexperienced to paddling, wanting to gain knowledge and raise their awareness of paddling safely in a sheltered water environment.

The course is based on learning and, as such, the ethos of "supporting the paddler" is the main focus of the course, encouraging individuals to consider where they paddle, the equipment they use and provide practical solution if they get into difficulty.  The course covers 4 key modules:-

* Equipment

* Environmental factors

* Planning

* Rescues

On completion of this award a good next step would be the Paddle Discover or Paddle Explore Award.
