Level 2 River Kayak Skills & Assessment

Level 2 Kayak Skills Course

Our level 2 River Kayak skills course goes beyond just ticking boxes. Real-world awareness and decision-making, we encourage a practical, nature-connected focused experience that encourages confidence both on and off the water.

Guided by our experienced coach - build confidence, awareness and river skills. With us, you’ll paddle, play & discover!

If you’re just beginning your kayaking journey or looking to progress with purpose, our course provides a natural pathway into club paddling and further skill development.

What’s Provided

We’ll take care of the essentials – kayak, paddle, wetsuit, helmet & buoyancy aid are all included in your course. Just bring along your swimwear, a towel and a pair of suitable footwear you don’t mind getting wet. We’ll handle the rest, so you can focus on getting comfortable on the water.

Course Duration

This course runs over two full days (typically at weekends), or across six evening sessions during the summer months. Designed to suit busy lives whilst allowing time to absorb and reflect.

What Gets Covered

Throughout the level 2 Kayak Skills Award, you will develop a solid foundation in kayak strokes, rescue techniques, peer paddling and trip planning – with an emphasis on safety, awareness and learning through experience. Each session invites you to build confidence on the water while becoming an active, aware member of your paddling group. On successful completion, you’ll earn the Canoeing Ireland Level 2 Skills Award.
