Paddlesport Four Star Leader

 This discipline specific test is designed to indicate that the candidate has the skill level to safely paddle and lead other competent paddlers on sections of moderate water. A four Star paddler will have the all round paddling ability, safety, rescue and basic leadership required to undertake trips on sheltered – moderate water with a group of paddlers who have the basic paddling skills required, but not necessarily the experience, to operate in a self-sufficient manner. The new award looks much the same structurally to the old 5 star, but the personal skills and leadership reflect an easier environment. 


From 1st July 2009 all candidates (living in England) wishing to attend a BCU 4 or 5 Star Leader Assessment are required to register with Canoe England prior to their assessment. Candidates should allow two weeks to complete the registration process. Click here for more information.
