Training schedule

Assistant Instructors are trained by IKO Instructors level 2 and above. The training is organized in 4 steps, and is completed in a minimum of 3 days.
The first 2 steps are usually completed in 1 day. These are: an evaluation of your competencies (kiteboarding knowledge, practice level), and an evaluation of your theoretical competencies (level check and update of knowledge). A visit to a kiteboarding school also takes place during the first day, in order for you to better understand the way a Center functions (bookings, equipment storage, spot set-up ...).
The third step involves working with your instructor level 2 in live situation. During this stage of the training, you will act as Assistant Instructor for at least 10 hours of lesson time.
