Karen:
You have to have minimum three years experience recorded in your log book before you can go for a lev 5 assessment?


I will never be able to keep a small folder in my possession, let alone in one piece for that long.


--- Quote from: Level 5 Kayaking Skills :) ---in addition to 4.02 a candidate must record in a Level 5 Kayak Skills Logbook evidence of having gained experience over a minimum of three years on a range of advanced river trips showing a bias towards "wild" and Grade 4 & advanced white water rivers. Experience gained on wholly artificial courses/weirs will not be considered as part of the completion of this requirement.

Matt:
No that means you have to have been paddling for 3 years before getting your log book. You have to show them that you have a minimum of 3 years paddling experience before doing the training/assessment.

You don't have to keep the log book for three years, since for assessment you only have to log a minimum 10 river trips, or approx. 25 hours.

So basically, give us a week in Europe Karen and we can go for our L5 *winkey*

kmck:
The way that's phrased makes it three years before you can go for assessment. Matt unless you got a clarification and there will be a correction I think you have to take it as it is written. Unless this is a statement of what you have done before hand. How is an examiner supposed to confirm it?
