LNBP Community Boating are pleased to announce details of our CCBM Training Week for Spring 2026.

As an accredited Training Centre for the Certificate in Community Boat Management (CCBM), LNBP run a series of training courses at either end of the boating season.

What is the Certificate in Community Boat Management?

The CCBM course is designed to improve the knowledge and skills of people operating boats carrying groups of twelve passengers or less. It is administered by the National Community Boats Association (NCBA) of which LNBP Community Boating is a member.

The CCBM course is aimed at boat users in the voluntary or public sectors, but the scheme will be of interest to all group leaders using commercial hirecraft. Many organisations require the CCBM as a prerequisite for group leaders who are planning to self-steer.

All candidates for the CCBM must be over 18 years.

Our CCBM Training Weeks are residential-based on our boats for the full week and also include full catering for the duration.

The dates for our Spring CCBM training dates are Monday 20^th to Friday 24th April 2026.

Following that, LNBP will also be running a dedicated CCBM Re-Validation Day on Saturday 25th April 2026.

LNBP Community Boating is an accredited Training Centre for the Certificate in Community Boat Management (CCBM) and in addition to another dedicated five day course, we took the opportunity to run a Re-accreditation Day to provide individuals whose CCBM’s had lapsed to renew them.

And the weather gods shined on the training team and course members as for the large part they were blessed with some fine spring sunshine and blue skies as the pictures below will testify.

What could be better than gaining a CCBM qualification in beautiful surroundings of the Oxford and Grand Union Canals here on the Warwickshire/Northamptonshire border?

See for yourself in the galleries below.

Thank you to all the attendees who successfully completed the Course.
