British Canoeing Awarding Body are pleased to announce that they have developed an alternative pathway for Slalom Coaches, and are now offering two regulated qualifications:

1. Slalom Coach (Grade 1/2) 
2. Slalom Coach (Grade 2/3)

During a review of the existing pathway for Slalom Coaches it was evident that many clubs do not operate within the environmental definitions of moderate water (Grade 2/3), and that there was a need to provide opportunities for those coaching slalom within clubs to gain a regulated qualification.

'The new pathways better reflect the environments that Slalom coaches operate within, enabling those that have already attended a training course to choose the environment that they are assessed in, as well as providing choice to those at the start of their coaching journey' - Lee Pooley Director of coaching & Qualifications.
