Okay, you fancy a change of career and want to travel the world teaching kite surfing? Well, you can, just apply for one of our ITC's (Instructor Training Courses). First of all, have you been kiting to a reasonable standard for at least six months to a year. You also need to meet the requirements as listed in the downloads on this page. To complete the ITC and qualify as a level 1 kite surf instructor you must;

  1. Hold a valid and in date first aid certificate
  2. An IKO assistant instructor qualification or another sports instruction qualification
  3. Be a qualified power boat handler to at least RYA level 2
  4. Complete your Instructor Training Course (ITC)
  5. Complete your live logged teaching hours after your initial ITC

IKO Crossover courses (IEC)

Being part of the IKO professional instructor training schemes means you maybe able to take the shorter version of the course which is offered to anyone who is already qualified as an IKO snowkite or powerkite instructor. Core components of the IKO instructor training packages follow the same format whether on land, sea or snow. The tenants of teaching are always the same, so teaching methodology, lesson planning, dealing with learning challenges and so on are common to all IKO courses, enabling the IKO to offer the crossover course with full confidence. You must still meet the specific personal riding prerequisite for this branch of power kite sports. Our ITC's are in high demand so please book early to avoid disappointment.
