Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to paddle a kayak on a planned course as part of a group on waterways that feature slow moving water conditions. It covers the skills to paddle on rivers, up to grade 1, and on large open bodies of water such as lakes and dams. It requires the ability to self-rescue from a capsize and to rescue others in deep water.For rivers, grade 1 refers to the International River Grading System which provides a broad indication of a river’s rapid features, and the degree of difficulty in negotiating these. These rivers have long stretches of slow moving water that could feature regular small waves and or riffles, relatively few obstacles and an easy passage to find and follow. Large bodies of water also feature slow moving water conditions.It applies to leaders, guides or instructors, who use these skills when leading participants during kayaking activities. Leadership skills are provided in complementary units.This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
