During the early part of 2022, British Canoeing Awarding Body and the Delivery Centres completed a comprehensive review of the current fee structure and prices for all qualification and awards. The review took into consideration wider financial issues, including the current UK financial constraints, demand for courses, as well as costs of maintaining our services for learners, deployers and providers. |
