Last thursday Sea Guide Level 2 Candidates - Matthew Goodwin, Bonnie Tregenza, and Fiona Semmens attended the final assessment event held at Murrays Beach Jervis Bay in the Booderee National Park. Preparation for this day is one that can't be underestimated, as candidates are required to not only exhibit sound paddling skills, guiding and workplace knowledge, but to have a depth of understanding in the field of group management whilst taking into account environment, climate, weather, and local conditions. To ensure a breadth and depth of experience candidates are also required to provide documented evidence of experience in the above. Armed with this knowledge and experience an on water assessment was conducted in open water conditions to satisfy the requirements of the highly rated Australian Canoeing Award.
As the industry assessor for Australian Canoeing in this area, it was a pleasure to conduct the event and confirm the satisfactory result for each of the candidates. I would like to thank Bonnie , Fiona and Mat for their preparedness as it is blatentley obvious when candidates are ill prepared, but no such case on this day was eveident.
Congratulations to each of you. Ross Boardman - Australian Canoeing Sea Assessor JBK
