is it possible to attempt level 3, not having completed level 2?

Yarp, level 1 and 2 are considered introductory awards but are not a prerequisite for level 3.

Read over the level 3 syllabus HERE  (http://canoe.ie/en-us/awardsqualifications/skillsawards.aspx#_Toc354395994)

It's possible to do the level 3 in a year but a bit of practice and experience go a long way in making it an easy award versus a hard award to get.
