At X-Isle we have designed a 9 week programme to
take you from zero ability to instructor level. You
will leave the course with a set of
qualifications which will enable you to find work at
kitesurfing centres all over the world. The course is
run at our UK training centre and
also in Mombasa, Kenya, our tropical kitesurfing
location.
You start out on the Isle of Wight with an
introductory weekend where we will teach you to
wakeboard to start to develop your board
riding skills – this will also go towards your training
as a Wakeboard / Waterski instructor. Following
this you will fly out to Mombasa in
Kenya for 6 weeks of intensive training in all
aspects of kitesurfing. Whilst you are there you will
get the opportunity to see a fully
operational kitesurfing centre in action, work
alongside kitesurfing instructors and see at first
hand what your time as a kitesurfing
instructor will be like . Whilst learning to kitesurf
we will also hone your skills as a wakeboarder and
waterskier.
On your return to the UK you will enter 2 weeks of
instructor training which should culminate in your
attaining your instructor
certificates. This phase covers not just teaching
kitesurfing, wakeboarding and waterskiing, but
also safety boat driving, first aid and
other aspects of centre management which are key
to your success as an instructor.
With any luck you will have passed and can now
take advantage of our after-course careers service.
