Hi there,

I'm considering participating in a Safety Course, 4* training and
assesment and a level 2 coach.

Most decent clubs provide this kind of training for free, or at a very
subsidised cost - if yours doesn't, have you considered joining one that
does? I got almost all my training provided by volunteers at my club. I
then repaid the club with lots of coaching once I was sufficiently
qualified and experienced.
If you are going to pay for training I can highly recommend Plas y
Brenin. I haven't done any canoe training there but I've done lots of
other courses, all excellent.
