The Paddle Canada Sea Kayak program includes nationally recognized certifications in five skill levels, five Instructor levels, and four Instructor-Trainer Levels.Certifications are earned during participation in courses and through a process of mentorship. The skill levels begin with an introduction to sea kayaking and follow through to development of the skills and knowledge necessary for safe sea kayak touring along Canada’s magnificent open sea coasts and freshwater shorelines.
