"Outstanding quality" - Course
Participant
This paddler specific course has been purposefully designed by the CRT
training team and has successfully taught people from rescue
organisations, national care workers, teachers and of course outdoor
instructors and enthusiasts.
The course is accepted by a huge range of outdoor sports National
Governing Bodies as sufficient first aid training for their instructor
award schemes including - BCU, WCA, RYA, ML, SPA, SMBLT and offers
a three year certificate.
The course is residential, taught over two days and includes realistic
scenarios - the majority of the training takes place on or near the
water in all weathers to build your experience and confidence. Students
are encouraged to ask questions as they are coached through the
syllabus.
This is an intensive training course in a relaxed atmosphere that
emphasises simple actions, relevant skills and massive participation.
Its fun, challenging and a real eye opener.
