SDBA conducts a few sessions of SDBA Helm Accreditation in a year.
The purpose of this is not to train helms but to accredit helms who have demonstrated a level of capabilities and having able to competently helm a crew. The training of helms is the responsibility of the respective affiliates.
During COVID19 Reopening Phase period, the size of dragon boat crew was reduced hence to meet COVID19 control measures hence SDBA introduced the Small Crew Basic Helm (SCH) accreditation which permitted Helms to control the COVID19 period sized boats.
Post COVID19 period as designated by the Authorities, the SCH Helm will be required to convert their SCH to full accreditation Basic Helm License (BHL)
