This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to lead and supervise dependent participants during canoeing activities on grade 2 rivers according to predetermined activity plans which might be self-developed or developed by others. It covers the skills required to adjust activities according to prevailing conditions and participant capabilities.
It requires the ability to demonstrate and instruct canoeing techniques applicable to grade 2 rivers. To do this, leaders must be proficient in canoeing skills which are covered by other units.
This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.
It applies to leaders who work independently using discretion and judgement to manage operational logistics and risk within predetermined guidelines.
When working at or close to base and assistance, they manage routine problems in consultation with relevant personnel. Where assistance is not immediately available, leaders use additional skills, covered by other units, to manage significant problems, e.g. rescues, injury or illness in remote locations.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
