British Canoeing Raft Guide Grade 2

The Paddle UK Raft Guide Grade 2 is run in conjunction with the Paddle Scotland. The course assesses you in the fundamental skills of rafting following the Paddle UK grade 2 raft guide syllabus and is provided by our Paddle Scotland providers. Take your rafting to the next step!

Our providers do the most to ensure that any stress is kept to a minimum on the day and instead aim to enjoy the day without putting pressure on people. You will be kept in the know the whole day with regards to any element of the syllabus that are needing to be seen. But we recommend you familiarise yourself with the Paddle UK white water rafting grade 2 guide syllabus and also have a look at the assessment guidance as linked.

Leadership eLearning and other online resources – Paddle UK provides an optional e-learning module which guides you through the principles behind the Paddle UK Awarding Body’s Model of Leadership. If this is of use to you then take a look here!.

White Water Rafting is one of the most fun and popular river experiences in Scotland. Be assessed to guide a raft down grade 2 white water rivers safely, look after your crew and have a good time. And the level two guide is a qualification that is sought after around the world for rafting companies.

Check out the photos below to see the sort of river you will be on (standard assessment venues are the Spey and the Tay – the photos below are from both), and the two videos at the bottom to see one of a raft guide training course, and one from our standard rafting trips that we send out all the time (this gives you an idea of the sort of things you can raft with the appropriate experience).
