I've no idea. I believe it's for a coaching award and it seems based on the instructor. The same instructor apparently will not allow you to take the course in a kayak equipped with a rudder, even if you don't use it! A friend wanted to take the course and was annoyed he'd have to borrow or rent an unfamiliar kayak for the week long course.
