This is the next advancement from the Introduction to Canoeing and Kayaking – BCU 1 Star course. The aim of the course is to improve you to an intermediate paddler and gain the BCU 2 Star Award.
It is an intensive course where we aim to bring you up to a 2 Star Standard over a weekend. This is ideal for someone who may need to travel or can’t commit to coming week after week.
The course is split in to kayak and canoe sessions aiming to bring your skills level to a two star standard in both types of craft. You will cover:

- Preventing a capsize
- Moving in and out of a confined space
