     IKO and BKSA Kitesurfing Instructor Course

     Kitesurfing in Boracay Island (Philippines) with Ocean Republic
 
Become an IKO and BWSA kitesurfing instructor. Enjoy our 3 week intensive course which includes a RYA pwerboat course . Accommodation, domestic flights, full 3 weeks with IKO head trainer and all equipment is included. Pre-requisites apply.

As kitesurfing grows, so does the demand for instructors. Many more kiteboarding centres are now asking for IKO fully qualified kiteboarding instructors to train their clients. Becoming qualified is a great way to improve your chances of employment teaching at water sports centres around the world.

Are you bored with what you're doing day in day out? Stuck in a rut? Job not planning out the way you thought it would. Maybe its time for a change of direction. Kitesurfing maybe a 9-5 job but its like no other. Days at the office don't seem so bad when the sand is between your toes, the wind is blowing and the crystal water is inviting you to play.

We are lucky enough to be joined annually by Neil Godbold, the BKSA head coach and Master IKO examiner. Neil takes a month out of his busy schedule to lead you all the way through the Instructor Development Course. If pre course coaching is required you'll be in the safe hands of the crew.

Why 3 weeks and not 1?

Good Reasons. We and the trainer (Neil Godbold) believe that that a slower paced course enables the kitesurfing instructor course to be absorbed more effectively. 1 week intensified courses produce OK instructors, a 3 week course produces great instructors. 80% opposed to 40% get re-employed for a 2nd season for that fact alone. In fact all 6 of next year instructors at Ocean Republic were taught by Neil Godbold who takes the 3 week courses.

Many kiteboarding instructor course hopefuls coming from Europe would prefer a longer time in Asia, and so working the course around wind and tides makes for a perfect amalgamation of course time and free time. Its basically a perfect 3 week tropical holiday which (when passed) qualifies you to both IKO and BKSA levels.

Another Unknown fact is that a regular IKO course then requires to find a willing school to let you practice on their customers for 20-40 hours of supervised instruction under the watchful eyes of their IKO L2 . The 3 week course provides real students in a training environment which eliminates the necessity to go hunting for a willing school who will give you their students.
