Instructor Courses

Our instructor programs provide the training and certification required to teach kayaking to novice and intermediate paddlers under Paddle Canada's National Program

Blue Dog Kayaking is an accredited Paddle Canada course provider. As one of the only organizations in the country able to offer the entire PC sea kayak program we are committed to bringing you the most flexible course program currently available. Our courses focus on teaching paddling skills and seamanship. Instructor Trainer led topics include adult learning principles,  providing student feedback and creating challenging environments. We will encourage you to examine your techniques and beliefs as you begin to discover new learning and teaching styles.

"Dave and Amber ran a very well organized and challenging course for our Level 2 Sea Kayak Instructor certification. For higher level courses the paddling and teaching experience of your instructors really matters and in this regard we could not have asked for better instructors. I'd highly recommend other prospective instructor candidates consider Blue Dog Kayaking for a hands-on course using proven teaching methodologies." Dan Wong, Owner or Jackpine Paddle
