Assessor award changes

The Assessor award has had a change in the last week. This is really only a name change relevant to the Instructor award you hold.

For example if you are a Sea Instructor and held and Assessor award, you now hold a Sea Assessor award.

If you held a Sea and WW Instructor award, you will now hold a Sea and WW Assessor award etc. 

Sea and WW Assessors are able to assess Flatwater awards so you will not require a Flatwater Assessor award.
