Watersports Instructor Training (4 Disciplines)
Looking to work as a Watersports instructor anywhere in the world upon graduation, then this is the course for you.
About the course
Most watersports courses offer two, maybe three, disciplines. Here at UKSA we offer four as standard. For maximum employability, our eleven-week course will see you qualify in teaching dinghy sailing, paddleboard, paddlesport and windsurfing – making you very desirable within the watersports industry.
Being able to do a selection of water-based sports will help build confidence on-the-water. Being confident leads to a higher quality of instruction and clients will have a more enjoyable and educational experience.
Our Watersports Instructor Training provides you with the qualifications required to work in the UK and also around the world. With a huge demand for high calibre professionals in this sector you are likely to find yourself with a choice of jobs in the most idyllic locations on the planet.
Thanks to our connections with the industry, UKSA graduates are guaranteed interviews with the top employers in the watersports industry such as Neilson Holidays, Mark Warner and Ocean Elements.
