SDBA conducts a few sessions of SDBA Helm Accreditation Scheme in a year.
The purpose of this Scheme 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 is reduced:-
To meet COVID19 control measures, SDBA has introduced the Small Crew Basic Helm scheme (SCH). SCH will permit Helms to control the COVID19 period sized boats.
SCH is valid throughout the government announced COVID19 Reopening Phase period.
The candidate must ably demonstrate the following drills in the practical test: Click here to download Practical Test Requirements
Post COVID19 period, the SCH Helm will be required to convert their SCH to full accreditation Basic Helm License (BHL)
