Training Course Costs
Leeds Canoe Club cannot provide all courses without cost to the participant. The club is a voluntary organization and all coaches are self funded. At Levels 1 and 2 the club endeavours to offer support and assistance to the coaches to help them up the coaching ladder, in return for this the coaches offer free one and two star training and assessment. Beyond this, coaches are self motivated and self funded and have the right to charge for the courses they provide.
Charging coaches are to be treated as external coaches for the duration of the training and assessment. This means that they must be disassociated from the club name and facilities (These are not Leeds Canoe Club courses). External Coaches must supply their own equipment, location, insurances and organize all their own paper work (Leeds Canoe club does not accept any liability for club members whilst trading as paid coaches, nor for members participating in external courses)
You should always check that the coach in charge of the course is a current and comprehensive member of the BCU or has alternative Public liability insurances in place.
As a club we benefit from the numbers of likeminded people and the contacts we have built up, which means that we should be able to group members together to achieve discounts from known registered external coaches.
