GUIDE
For guiding a kayak
trip you do not need instructor qualities. As a certified Guide, you
satisfy the end terms determined by Kayak Level. You have
demonstrated sufficient knowledge, experience and skills to handle a
kayak tour in a responsible way or to paddle independently with a
group of people of the same level as yours.

A
guide is
related
to
an
“Organisation”
A by
Kayak Level
certified Organisation
provides a good
atmosphere
in
which a
Guide can work.
The
administration is handled by the organisation as well. An
Organisation within the Kayak Level system, can not function without
Guides and/ or Instructors. The same counts for the other way round,
with exception for the “independent Guide”.
Independent Guide
A
Guide who wants to guide groups independent from an Organization,
also is able to achieve the Kayak Level Organisation certificate.
Disorganized self kayaking
The
knowledge, experience and skills of a Guide are with the exception
of specific instructor skills equal to that of an Instructor.
If Guides and/ or Instructors of the same level go kayaking
disorganized, everyone will be fully self responsible, unless this
mutual is prescribe differently by the concerning Guides and/ or
Instructors and is determined in writing.
To determine advise final terms
A
Guide is not responsible for determining final terms, but he/ she
can indicate with a + or - whether someone can paddling at an higher
level or needs to go back to a lower level.
-
With
the note + (plus), a person can paddle at a higher level. The
instructor finally determines whether this person truly is
suitable for this level.
-
A Note - (minus) is not a disgrace. Someone can not have his
day. However if there is a structural decline, the Instructor
only can effect that somebody’s level will decreased.
