This process is normally availed of by those holding BCU qualifications, however, there are significant differences between the Canoeing Ireland and the BCU systems, which may not allow for direct recognition of all qualifications.
If you would like to seek equivalence please forward your request in writing, detailing your current qualifications, your paddling experience, your coaching experience and reasons why equivalence will aid you develop paddlesports in Ireland
All applications for equivalence are treated on a case by case basis, and each case is considered on its own merits.
