Intermediate Level 2 Kayak or Canoe Course 2025
The Intermediate Level 2 Kayak or Open Canoe Course gives you ownership: allowing you to choose where you move next in the world of paddlesport. This 3-day course helps paddlers develop fundamental paddlesport skills on flat water. The emphasis is on gaining a breadth of experience, creating the desired movement of the boat and developing an understanding of how the paddle, boat and water interact.
The course is completed by taking an assessment in either a kayak or canoe and you can choose which craft you wish to use. Holders of the Intermediate Level 2 / Paddle UK “Paddle Explore” award are able to take part in a wider range of club activities including kayak trips to the River Wye, River Derwent, Lee Valley Whitewater Centre, Introductory Surf Course and the PUK “Paddlesport Safety & Rescue Course”.
The river trip and assessment will be held on either the River Beane at Hertford or the Grand Union Canal at Harefield. We will have a good selection of coaches to get the best out of you on the course and we see this as a big stepping stone in your paddling.
The Intermediate Level 2 meets or exceeds the requirements of the Paddle UK “Paddle Explore” award.

We can provide successful paddlers with a Paddle UK electronic “Paddle Explore” Certificate at cost (currently £8).
