New BCAB Tutoring eLearning

British Canoeing Awarding Body is delighted to launch the NEW Tutoring in the Paddlesport Environment (TPE) eLearning.


This eLearning focuses on providing high quality tutoring in different settings, aligned to our educational philosophy. There are activities to explore including roles and responsibilities, individualisation in a group setting, and online tutoring . It’s full of great information to help both new and experienced tutors consider their current practice.


The eLearning takes around two to complete, and we would encourage reflection between the activities. There is also an optional activity that encourages either devising a new session plan or changing an existing one based on the learning. The TPE eLearning will count as 10 CPD points, once completed, and will be added to your National Association record.‘Anyone involved in providing paddlesport activity will understand the importance of learner engagement, whether you deliver coach qualifications, leader and safety training courses or personal performance awards. This eLearning is designed to provide clarity of our responsibilities as a tutor, as well as explore the finer points of tutoring in a paddlesport environment’ Lee Pooley, Director of Coaching & Qualifications.


The NEW Tutoring in the Paddlesport Environment (TPE) eLearning and you can access the eLearning from the BCAB store and via the Digital Library.

Help Track Water Quality Issues in Northern Ireland
by Lyn Sherriff 22 August 2025
What is the Clean Water Sports Alliance NI Seven of Northern Ireland’s water-based National Governing Bodies have joined forces to tackle the growing issue of polluted waterways. The Clean Water Sports Alliance NI brings together Swim Ulster, Paddle NI, Rowing Ireland NI Branch, the Royal Yachting Association Northern Ireland, the Ulster Angling Federation, the National Coarse Fishing Federation Ireland (NCFFI), and Triathlon Ireland. Supported by the NI Sports Forum, this alliance sends a clear message: preserving clean rivers, lakes, and coastal waters is essential for sport, recreation, and community wellbeing. Why Clean Water Matters for Paddlers Polluted water doesn’t just harm wildlife and habitats—it directly impacts us on the water: It jeopardises the health of paddlers by increasing exposure to bacteria and contaminants. It disrupts clubs, coaching, training courses, and qualification pathways when sites become unusable. It undermines the safety and enjoyment of paddles, from beginner session, to club activity and performance athletes.
