How to register online

Registering online is the quickest method to register for a coaching or leadership award.

Visit SCA Portal and login.

Click on the 'Registrations' section to apply for the registration, following the on screen instructions. Payment can be made online with a credit or debit card, or an invoice requested. Invoices will be emailed to you instantly. Registration is not valid until invoices are paid. If you wish to pay by bank transfer, please request an invoice. SCA's bank details are shown on the invoice.

Successful registration will be confirmed instantly by email including a registration certificate. If we have been unable to verify your pre-requisites automatically your registration will be manually checked by SCA Staff and confirmed by email. This will normally take place on the next working day.

If you are a member of British Canoeing (England), Canoe Wales or Canoe Association of Northern Ireland, or your primary address is in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you should contact the appropriate National Association Delivery centre for their form and registration.

If you have yet to book a place on a course, visit our events page to find details of forthcoming courses.

Assessment Check In

Assessment Check In is a process for coaches who are planning to attend a Coach Award Assessment course.

It's free, quick and confirmation is sent straight to your inbox*. This should then be shared with the assessor to confirm eligibility for assessment.

The purpose of Check In is to confirm the coach holds all prerequisites, saving time on the day of the assessment as the assessor doesn't need to check certificates and paperwork.

Please do not try to check in unless you hold all prerequisites, including the Coach Award e-Learning module. Confirmation of check in will not be issued until the conditions are met.

SCA members can view their qualifications and training online in the Members Portal, and upload any outstanding evidence (for example first aid training or safeguarding training).

To check in online, visit SCA JustGo and click on the registrations section. If you are unable to check in online, download the attachment below and send to SCA office.

*Note - the SCA online system checks qualifications and training records against the pre-requisites. Due to the multitude of British Canoeing qualifications and training, not all combinations are configured and occasionally it is necessary for staff to manually check. In these cases confirmation will normally be issued within 2 working days, providing the evidence is on record.
