Paddle Canada Certification Maintenance Clinic
Keep your Paddle Canada Basic or Level 1 Instructor certification current and active so you can continue teaching accredited skills courses!
This full-day clinic is designed to refresh your paddling techniques, sharpen your instructional skills, and ensure you’re aligned with current best practices. You’ll spend time on the water reviewing essential strokes and rescues with a focus on demonstration quality, participate in group teaching sessions with peer feedback, and discuss course administration, registration, and up-to-date risk management strategies.
The day also offers valuable time to connect with fellow instructors, share ideas and experiences, and leave feeling more confident and current in your role as an educator.
This is a Paddle Canada–recognized Professional Development Clinic—one of the approved ways to maintain your certification every four years.
