Training Subsidies

The club has secured a Queensland government grant to improve the level of sea kayak and whitewater skills within the club. The club is in a position to significantly subsidise members in the following certified courses –

  • First aid courses
  • Flatwater guide/ instructor courses
  • Level 2 sea leader courses
  • Swiftwater Rescue courses

The club expects to get something back from people whose courses it subsidises. Accordingly, these subsidies will be awarded according to a number of criteria. These will include things such as past participation and contribution to club activities, likelihood of future contribution and participation in club activities, and suitability of the course to the individual.

If you would like to do a course, please submit the course you would like to do, when you would like to do it (check Queensland canoeing’s calendar), and a short summary of why you think the club should subsidise your course.

Contact Dave ( club vice-president ) for details and course submissions.

Look for details from Qld Canoeing’s course calendar for the courses and times you are interested in
