Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to control a raft as a leader, with participants on board, on rivers with grade 4 rapids, and according to planned and scouted courses. It requires the ability to implement rescue processes for ejected swimmers and self, and to manage capsize responses. Other rescue skills are covered in complementary units.Grade 4 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. This unit provides skills to raft on rivers with difficult rapids which have high irregular waves, difficult broken water, strong powerful and confused currents, and often boiling or strongly recirculating eddies. These rivers have significant and often constant obstacles, including exposed rocks, ledges, large drops and stoppers that require precise and sequential manoeuvring. Passages through rapids are difficult to recognise from the river, and scouting would be required.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 in the field using discretion and judgement to manage operational logistics, risk, problems and emergencies when they arise. Other leadership skills are provided in complementary units.No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
