British Canoeing have announced details of the awards that will replace the star tests.

The Personal Performance Awards are designed for paddlers wanting to gain recognition of their learning and development, in the craft and environment they choose.

The process of completing the awards is based on learning and, as such, the ethos of ‘supporting the paddler’ is the main focus of all the awards, encouraging individuals in their personal development.

The new Personal Performance Awards include:

Paddle Awards: Three introductory awards – Start, Discover, Explore – that are designed for those new to paddlesport

Discipline Specific Awards: 12 pathways comprising three awards which enables paddlers to choose the environment, craft and paddle sport discipline that is right for them.

We will be providing the opportunity to gain these new awards from January 2019.
