SUP INSTRUCTOR REGISTRATION
Before you book onto your Stand Up Paddleboard Instructor Course, you will need to be a member of British Canoeing, ensure you have personal paddling and rescue competence and complete your registration.
WHAT IS REGISTRATION?
Anyone wishing to pursue a Coaching or Leadership Qualification is required to centrally register with the appropriate National Association (British Canoeing, Canoe Wales, Scottish Canoe Association, Canoe Association of Northern Ireland). Registration is the process by which you confirm your intention to study towards a particular qualification. It includes:
Checking of previous qualifications
Completing and signing the Registration Form
Medical Declaration (if required)
Setting up and providing access to course resources and eLearning (where applicable)
Acceptance of the terms and conditions of study and helps you understand your rights
Whilst undertaking the qualification and how your data will be used.
Once you are registered, you become a learner with the National Association and we are able to contact you with relevant information and updates to your course of study, help you find a course and local support or mentoring.
WHEN AND WHERE DOES REGISTRATION TAKE PLACE?
We would recommend that you register as early in your development journey as possible to access all of the support and learning resources. As a bare minimum and to support your learning, we would recommend registering at least two weeks before starting your course. Registration is an online process through your British Canoeing membership portal. Registration is separate from booking a place on a course; the latter is done directly with the Course Provider. It is worth noting that many Course Providers want to see evidence of Registration at the point of booking.
