About
Train2Gain with UKSA is a customised, comprehensive training package that gives you all the skills you need to start your career with us.
This action-packed course runs for 40 days and 40 nights and like Noah’s Ark, it involves a lot of water! Delivered by our industry-leading instructors with a focus on working directly with each individual student. UKSA has been delivering watersports instructor training for over 35 years and we are proud that our one-to-one sessions, mentoring, careers advice and recruitment support gives you the edge needed to enter the industry with confidence.
Please note that this programme is for candidates seeking employment at UKSA and therefore an attendance interview is mandatory.
This course is fully funded by UKSA. No experience is necessary to push yourself past what you think you can do – all you need is to be adaptable, dependable and sociable.
