For more than 6 years now, the IKO has been training instructors and bringing the sport to a safer level. The original focus was to train kiteboard instructors. A couple of years ago, the IKO introduced certification for snow kite instructors. Today, it is proud to introduce certification for power kite instructors!
This makes the IKO certification really unique since IKO instructors can find work anywhere in the world, all year round, either by teaching one discipline, or by combining the other 2!
What also makes the IKO certification unique is the fact that after 5 days of ITC (Instructor Training Course) the instructors can immediately find a job and earn money, making their return on investment in less than 10 days!!
Other benefits or being an IKO instructor includes worldwide liability insurance coverage specifically designed for teaching kiteboarding, and the possibility to continue your career as an Instructor all the way to becoming an Examiner (train Instructors).
There is a huge demand for IKO instructors worldwide, and instructors can find postings on the IKO web site. To organize an IKO ITC in your school, visit the IKO web site (http://www.ikointl.com).

ESComputers had een 3 sterren sessie in Workum met maar liefst 14 - 17 knots op zijn North Rhino (2009)
Ik wil zelf erg graag instructor worden maar ik ben pas 16.
Kan je al met iets beginnen als je 16 bent? hoeft niet persee IKO
Surf Dude, je IKO assistance kan je halen vanaf 16 of 17 weet ik niet zeker maar kan je checken ofcourse.
Lesgeven kan soms wel op je 16e alleen is het verzekeringstechnisch een moeilijk verhaal mocht er iets fout gaan... Mijn advies: Check hoe het zit met assistance, en daarna als je 18 bent lekker iko halen en rondreizen...
