Here at Voyageur Coaching we understand that we coach people and not paddlesport. We are recognised for what we do best and pride ourselves in knowing that we focus on tailoring the coaching style and content to meet the needs of the individual. Our aim being to produce adaptable, skilful paddlers.
This is all delivered with a view to long term learning and retention of skills, together with a personalised action plan to help in your chosen pathway and development after training.
BCU Awards — Personal Performance, Leadership
Voyageur Coaching is an independent provider of BCU/UKCC awards. We aim to guide you through your chosen pathway, from your training, preparation, and finally leading to a successful assessment.
Experience tells us that assessments can be a very stressful experience, therefore we aim to make the process as enjoyable as possible, by being relaxed and approachable yet professional. We look at assessments as being a continuation of your training, so if you don’t come away from one of our assessments having new ideas and ways of advancing your paddling then we haven’t done our job.
We currently offer the following BCU awards for Sea Kayak:
