BCU Coaching

BCU AWARDS
“All active Coaches have a responsibility to maintain a current first aid award, to ensure they can look after paddlers in their care. Coaches sign a declaration upon registration for our Coaching qualifications accepting this responsibility. Holding a valid first aid award is also part of the BCU Coach Update Scheme; Coaches who meet these requirements are recognised by the BCU as being active and up-to-date.For a first aid certificate to be valid:
1. It must be issued by a HSE approved center or on the BCU list of recognised courses.
2. The contact training time is as outlined.
3. Must include core first aid skills in the syllabi (including CPR)”
