Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to paddle a kayak as part of a group on inland rivers with grade 2 rapids, and according to planned and scouted courses. It requires the ability to self-rescue from a capsize and to rescue others in deep water.Grade 2 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 paddle on rivers with fairly frequent but straightforward rapids with regular medium sized waves, less than one metre, low ledges or drops, easy eddies and gradual bends. These rivers have small obstacles that require manoeuvring around with a good command of paddling strokes. Passages through rapids are generally straightforward and can be seen from the water, although some scouting may be required.It applies to leaders, guides or instructors, who use these skills when leading participants during kayaking activities. Leadership skills are provided in complementary units.This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
