I tried signing up for the course on British canoeing. I failed the prerequisite, but continued and paid. I guess the FSRT course hasn’t been added to the system yet. Presumably everyone else will have the same issue. Brian said he was going away. Does he normally check email when away or does someone need to phone?
I am away but not out of contact! I have submitted the paperwork and asked BC to process it quickly. I will call them when they have had time to react.
We have an ongoing issue with them over the method of payment, their system requires us to pay by direct debit or card and our system doesn't allow us to do this because we have dual authorisation on it. This has been rumbling on since the last courses in October and before but they have put through other certificates without awaiting resolution.
I am sure certificates will be in place before next weekend's course.
Thank you Brian. I have to admit that when you said you were away, I pictured you paddling somewhere exotic without mundane things like email and such like :-)
Which leadership course are you thinking? Paddlesport leader or sea kayak leader?
Haven’t yet looked at what paddlesport leader involves, but if others are doing, I’ll look further.
I’m looking to do Sea Kayak Leader at some point, but want (need) to improve and consolidate my personal skills first. I chatted to Lyndsay at the weekend and she suggested my next step is Coastal Sea Kayak Award. Im talking to her about dates and will make a separate post about that in case others are interested.

i'll be there friday
I said I'd be happy going on to the course next week - where do I need to sign up/who do I need to speak to?
I've signed up now
I'm really being the most awkward person on the other trips 😅

Will - as discussed this evening, I've just submitted my registration
Your FSRT certs are now recorded against your BC membership, so you should be able to register your CR form.
Thank you Jane. All signed up and paid
We discussed it briefly at the end of the PI course, but is anyone thinking of doing the leadership course next?
