I knew what to expect in the classroom because the exams prepared us for the all the material. The real value of the assistant course was learning on the beach with our trainer, Sail. I picked up some great ideas from this course and the highlight was learning the boat rescue. I learned a lot and will be a safer instructor, highly recommend this course.

I just completed my IKO Instructor Training Course/ assistant course, and it was one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. The course was hosted by a highly professional and well-organized kite school that truly set the standard for excellence. From day one, everything ran smoothly, and the focus on safety, structure, and clear communication was evident throughout. Our examiner, Bart Miller, and assistant trainer, Sail Schechter, were outstanding. Both brought an incredible depth of knowledge and experience, and they created a supportive, challenging, and inspiring learning environment. Their attention to detail, constructive feedback, and passion for teaching made all the difference. They not only taught us how to instruct safely and effectively but also demonstrated exactly what great instruction looks like in action. I walked away from this course with a much stronger understanding of how to teach kiteboarding the right way—safely, confidently, and professionally. I feel well-prepared and truly excited to start sharing this amazing sport with others.

Very satisfied
