Can I learn to kite with the Kiter membership?
The Kiter membership is designed as a facilitator to help you through your learning of kiteboarding and enhance your lessons with an IKO Instructor. In no way can the Kiter membership or any of the online educational content replace the essential hands-on training and services you will receive at one of our IKO Centers to learn and experience kiteboarding with confidence.
I upgraded, where can I access the content?
Once your account has been upgraded to the Kiter Premium, you can access the content from your account on the IKO website or on the IKO app (Android or IOS).The Kiter Premium content has been designed to be better enjoyed on your mobile device (note that the Handbooks series are only accessible on the IKO app).
Who can view the list of eCourses I have completed?
Instructor profiles automatically display the list of eCourses completed under the "Additional Qualifications" heading in the Kite Member Community. This way, Instructors get public recognition for all training received.
Note: A course will only be displayed in your profile once you have successfully finished it and have passed the final exam with at least 70 % of correct answers (not upon course registration).
How do I earn IKO Training Hours and where do they display in my profile?
Training Hours can be earned through:
- eCourses (each course is worth up to 12 training hours upon completion)
- Training as an (Assistant) Instructor.
You can view your total training hours in your account in the section "My Trainings."If for some reason training hours don’t show in your account within a few days of completing a qualifying activity, please contact us by sending a message using the topic "You are a Member".
