The assistant instructor
program is essential to candidates with no prior teaching background in
any water or aerial sport. If you intend on following an ITC (instructor's

training is organized in 3 steps and is completed in a minimum of 3
days. The 2 first steps are
usually completed in 1 day: - Evaluation of your competencies: kiteboarding knowledge, practice level, boat piloting skills, - Theoretical competencies:
level check and update of knowledge. A visit of the school also
takes place during the 1st day in order for you to better understand the
way it works (bookings, equipment storage, spot, etc.) During the 3rd step, you
will work with your instructor level 2 in live situation. You act as
assistant instructor during at least 18 hours of lesson.
Note: at the beginning of
the training, each candidate receives an Assistant Instructor Manual
as well as a copy of the Kiteboarder's Workbook. The assistant
instructor's diploma is presented at the end of the training and upon
successful completion. Your benefits: become part
of IKO's international network! Once certified, you will
get your IKO ID that allows you to log in the pro area of the website.
As an assistant instructor you benefit from numerous job opportunities
thanks to the job offers to which you have access in the pro area of the
web site. Moreover, you have priority over other candidates for ITC
level 1.
