It takes a huge amount of time and effort, time which is usually taken away from your own personal paddling.
Its a big responsibility, when your on the water your working.
Its also about service, this qualification is entirely about teaching beginners on flat water, usually introductory courses. If you dont enjoy that its not a qualification for you.
It is highly likely you will spend less time developing your own paddling skills (progressing to level 4 for example)
Of course if you like the sound of that fantatstic, its a super oppertunity to get into work which is really rewarding.
From my own experience I couldnt recommend getting into instructorship highly enough but people should be aware of what it entails before you jump in.
If any one wants to chat in detail give me a shout. :)
peace out

Thanks for the input Dave! Great to get some advice from someone who's done it already.

Hey guys, I'm reviving this thread to see if there's anyone else interested or anyone who is no longer interested? I'm going to be looking into organising this for the first week in september (week before college) or for the week before that. Need to know who's interested soon, ideally we need 12 people and that way the cost will (tbc) be €100. If you've already said yes on this just comment again to confirm!
Aoife S:
Yes, if I can do the course pre my level three assessment...I've had a few different views on it...
And do we need a rec2 course before it? ???
Ross:
Yup!

You can! And I doubt you need a REC or an RSR to do the training, but you probably do to actually get the qualification...
