Will I have to pay full price for an ITC if I fail an Expired Instructor Reassessment?
No, your IKO reassessment fee will be deducted from your ITC fee.
If I fail the Expired Instructor Reassessment, will I be able to do it again?
No, if you fail the Expired Instructor Reassessment, and you still want to be revalidated, you will have to pass an ITC.
I am certified by another organization. What can I do to become IKO Instructor?
You can enroll in any IKO Instructor Training Course (ITC) to qualify as an IKO Instructor without needing to attend the IKO Assistant Training Course (ATC) first. Contact us to reserve your spot.
Why don't I see my name listed on the IKO Members list?
There are a couple of reasons for this: your IKO Membership may have expired, or some information, such as your profile picture, might be missing from your account. If your membership has expired, you can renew it by logging into your account and selecting 'Renew / Upgrade.'
Will I receive a plastic card with my credentials on, or will it be 100% digital?
Your IKO membership is proof of your enrolment in the insurance plan. You will not receive a separate insurance card or digital certificate.
Am I covered by insurance if I break someone's kite/board?
Yes, you are covered for material damage, subject to an excess of 250 Euros. If a third party files a claim against you for compensation, contact IKO Support to assist you with your claim.
Does the professional third party liability insurance cover me in case of third party property damage and/or injury, or requires hospitalization, just in case someone gets hurt during my lesson?
Yes, contact the IKO support in this case to assist you with your claim.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind about the policy and want to cancel?
The IKO will not provide a refund for any online service such as membership, eCourses or eBooks.
I only work a few months a year and I think the fee is a little high for me, but I don't want to lose my IKO instructor membership, what can I do?
The basic instructor membership is only USD79.90 per year. This includes both the recreational third party liability insurance and all IKO services. Please note, this level of membership does not include cover for your students while you are teaching.
Can I cumulate/add together compensation from both the recreational third party liability insurance and personal accident insurance?
No, the third-party insurance is to compensate others. The personal accident policy applies to yourself.
