G'Day kite guys and kite girls,
I have just completed two more IKO Instructor Training Courses (ITC's) in both Fremantle, Westrn Australia and Christchurch, New Zealand, with a total of 17 new instructors being qualified by passing the IKO's Level 1 criteria.
I plan on instructing several courses for those that wish to be IKO certified and be able to travel the world with a diploma that makes getting work much easier just about anywhere in the world.
Courses will be held in Bali-Indonesia (May), Pattaya-Thailand (June), Koh Samui-Thailand (June-July), Cairns-Australia (August 11), and Brisbane-Australia (September).
All you need is a a valid basic First Aid certificate from St Johns or MFA, a motor boat drivers license or equivalent skill if no license is required in your state or country and some sort of previous teaching skill (PADI, snowboard, wakeboard, sailing, windsurfing etc). You also need to be able to ride upwind in all conditions, transition and jump.
Courses cost $570 USD and run for a full 5 days. Acccomodation can be arranged for you by organisers of the courses if you need. Keep watching this space as I hope to have firm dates for all courses in the next few days.
