This two-day intensive training blends the technical skill development of Paddle Canada Level 3 with the professional competencies required for the Sea Kayak Guides Alliance of BC (SKGABC) Guide Certification. Designed for paddlers preparing to step into advanced paddling environments or challenge a Guide exam, this program adapts to the unique goals, experience, and focus areas of each participant.
Over the course of two days, you will refine your boat handling, leadership strategies, and safety systems through personalized coaching in real coastal conditions. Whether you need to strengthen navigation, complex rescues, risk assessment, group management, environmental awareness, or advanced paddling techniques, the curriculum is tailored to support your progression and readiness.
Expect a combination of on-water drills, scenario-based training, targeted skill tuning, and actionable feedback that will help you move confidently toward your certification goals. Participants leave with a clear understanding of their strengths, growth areas, and the steps needed to succeed in both Paddle Canada Level 3 assessments and SKGABC Guide exams.
