FSRT Provider Moderation

* this event is only for FSRT providers and Aspirant providers - to attend this event you must have at least attended an FSRT Orientation*

Maintaining your FSRT Provider Role

Providers are required to maintain their British Canoeing Coach Update Scheme requirements in order to retain their Foundation Safety and Rescue Provider role.  Providers are also required to attend FSRT Moderation every three years.

FSRT providers must attend Moderation every 3 years to continue to provide the FSRT course and to assess asspirant providers.

Provider Moderation

FSRT Moderation events are aimed at existing FSRT Providers and serve as a standardisation exercise to ensure that providers are interpreting the syllabus the way it is intended and is an opportunity for people to share practice.

As well as being an opportunity to share practice and ensure consistent delivery standards across the country, attendance at these events meets the CPD element of the Coach Update Scheme for a further 3 years. 

General Course Information

Possible recommendations include:

• Continuation of your FSRT Provider role for a further 3 years

• Action plan with requirement for next course to be observed by a National Trainer (this will incur an additional cost)
