We have a range of nationally accredited training courses with the National Community Boats Association.
All volunteers who help run the Swingbridge trips work towards achieving the ‘Community Crew Course’, a workbook-based course during which new recruits are mentored through the crewing activities. Some volunteers go on to complete the one day ‘Boat Handling Course’ and some qualify as skippers by achieving the ‘Certificate in Community Boat Management’.
People who spend time helping with the Swingbridge environmental work programme can achieve Level 1 units in recognition of skills they have learnt through the Open College Network.
