Certifications

Candidates do not receive a diploma at the end of a training but a completion certificate. The diploma is available from the training section in the profile after the member receives the certification (i.e when internship hours and other requirements are completed).

We recommend a minimum of 4 Candidates. A maximum of 8 Candidates are allowed per ITC. If more than 8 ITC Candidates are accepted in an ITC, The Examiner and the Center will be sanctioned with a deduction of 6 points according to the Chart of Sanctions (Ref. 063).

The IKO Instructor diploma is valid for one year. Instructors must renew membership annually to have a valid diploma again.

First aid/CPR training teaches essential life saving skills that are considered vital for all IKO Instructors.

Any live teaching, including hands on training with a CPR mannequin and drowning rescue is accepeted. The training should be attested by a diploma.

IKO usually offers MFA training courses before each ITC.

IKO will not accept Online MFA / CPR.

You can use certification credits of the school you are working at.To do this, your school must add you as a team member first. Find how to be added as a team member here.Then, when you fill in the online form to certify your student. You have the option to use the school credit by selecting, "school working at." The school name you are working at must be displayed here. By submitting the student certification, the system will use the school credit instead of your personal credit.

The Examiner will print and bind the Instructor Manual for all the Candidates and the Organizer reimburses him the cost.

This is not necessary. IKO Instructors must have mastered all IKO Kiteboarder Levels upto Level 4 kiteboarder so they are able to analyze problems of trainees then find and implement solutions.
