resources for course providers

Paddle Scotland provides support for course providers in the form of guidance, documentation and policies, all of which can be discussed with our dedicated Coaching and Development Manager - please get in touch with any questions.

  • Provider Service Agreement

    All course providers of British Canoeing Awarding Body qualifications and awards must complete a Provider Service Agreement (PSA). This can be done on JustGo and has no cost. 


    To complete the PSA, please navigate to your JustGo profile, click add credentials, search for ‘Provider Service Agreement’ and follow the instructions to agree.

  • Course Authorisation and Results

    The JustGo system enables providers to automatically have their course authorised and advertised, to submit the candidate results and to pay online. 


    Course authorisation should be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the course. Course results should be entered and paid within 3 days of the course completion.

  • Personal Performance & Paddle Awards

    If you are interested in delivering the Personal Performance and Paddle Awards, please find more information on Paddle Award resources as well as guidance for delivery (including videos).


    To certify the awards, Paddle Scotland providers need to log in to the Paddle Scotland JustGo system.


    If you are a club or delivery partner, please log in to your dashboard to add the Paddle Awards.
