well i just emailed fred at iko giving him a week to refund my iko funds or i will continue to post about how IKO is just ripping people off. dont think i will hear from him. he is a coward, i must have emailed him 50 times and have phoned him dozens of times without success.
on another note i would like to invite any ex iko examiners interested in running instructor training courses to certify instructors with kitesafeassociation (KSA) licences to contact me. the hope is to be able to have examiners who can run courses at their own centers (or centers near them) to keep the cost down. the instructors licence will be for 5 years and will be in the form of an online passport, shown with a photo on the www.kitesafeassociation.com website. the licence will be rewnewable with a brief review of what the instructor has been doing for over the 5 years.
KSA is a non profit organisation providing free rider cards for schools to give to their students and assisting with insuring schools. i hope to run a job posting page on kite forum for all instructors in the future.
