We have a progressive suite of skills courses from beginner through to Sea Leader training and assessment. We can provide wide and holistic training, as our lead coach is an Advanced Performance Sea Coach, as well as an experienced Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician and Expedition Leader. We specialise in safety, rescue and 1st aid training, combining these to produce challenging and realistic training, in a friendly and supportive manner.

Sea Kayak Argyll & Bute are also one of very few centres that can provide all of the British Canoeing Guide Modules, and Guide Sign-Off. We take particular pride in training the sea kayak guides of the future.
