L2 Instructor Assessment - POSTPONED

All L1 and Novice L2 Kayakers

POSTPONED - Orange Weather Alert

This has been postponed by CI as a result of the Orange Weather Warning

Canoeing Ireland will be carrying out a L2 Kayak Instructor Assessments at the PKC Club on Saturday 05th October. There will be two sessions 9:30am and 1pm. 4 Trainee Instructors are being assessed, following a number of years training and logging hours.

For this assessment to go ahead we need two sets of new or relatively new kayakers to be available for the trainee instructors to run a training session at the club in front of the Canoeing Ireland Assessors. We need at least 6 participants in each group. Each training session will last about 2.5 hrs on the water.

If you can support and volunteer, this will be an ideal opportunity to get some extra training in, with a full refresh of the L2 kayaking syllabus strokes. There will be refreshment and scones laid on after each session in the clubhouse.  

If you can volunteer for either the 9:30am or the 1pm sessions (or want to do both) can you please reply to this post and we will reserve you a slot for the day. Many Thanks

Definitely up for this, I feel my loyalties lie with Jackie and Maurice after last week but happy to do both if you're stuck for numbers Also just to throw it out there, it might be worth reposting this in the upcoming events section as that's where I would usually look, took me a while to hunt this post down, so I'm guessing some of the other newbies will be in the same kayak... Bad pun intended looking forward to it (and maybe also the scones...)

Many Thanks Hannah - Appreciated.

Hi Morris, I can volunteer for the morning session.

Thank you Rita and Katie Murphy. Very appreciated.

Hi Maurice and Jackie, put me down for the afternoon session.

Thank you Pat

I'm unofficially down for this anyway guys so I can do both am & pm if your stuck.

Hi Maurice
Put me down for the afternoon session but if you are stuck for numbers I could do the morning one.

All - Many Thanks to those who have offered up their time for next Saturdays assessments. We have the afternoon panel filled which is really fab !

We are still looking for volunteers for the morning session.

The Canoeing Ireland Assessor has advised that he doesn't mind if the club day goes ahead as normal, so there will be no clash with normal training. If you would like to help out - please reply and we will reserve you a slot. We will of course have some scones and refreshments for all participants.

Many Thanks

Maurice

If you are ok with non-members then Rena O'Driscoll can do the morning session and also Aisling (jnr) would join.

No problem - we can sign them up on a temporary membership form - have them allotted. to the 9:30 session.

I can attend the morning assessment also.

I have adult daughter coming along to volunteer.. ‍�‍�
She has kayaked before but it's been a while!
Will fill up temporary membership form on Sat morning....

Hi Maurice, is it possible to change me to am assessment session on Sat please as I am not free in the afternoon apologies I didn't state that in my original message

All - last call for volunteers for Saturday - A number of people have been great and volunteered for both sessions - Many Thanks

Hi Maurice,
I'd like to see how an instructor assessment is run to better prepare myself for one in the future so I can volunteer for the afternoon session to relieve someone who signed up to both sessions if you need me. I can even use club gear and boat to sell the 'beginner' look if that'll help
Let me know if you need me

Hi Maurice, just checking if you want me for both, no problem at all if you do I'm definitely down for the afternoon but available for the morning too
