There are a number of groups around the country who will be able to offer you training. You may find that they are people at regional Kite Clubs or are people who work in Kite shops. The important thing to make sure is that they have valid insurance suitable for teaching and that they hold the level 1 'Basic Powerkite Instructor' certificate - which is issued by the Power Kite Sports Federation (PKSF). In order for the school 'kite club' to be sustainable it is important that the 'instructor' helps set up the club in the early stages and helps a nominated teacher understand the basic kite skills. We would recommend that an instructor delivers at least 10 weeks of kite flying 'lessons' to the students (and a teacher). At the end of that period the teachers (or coaches) should be at a level where they are confident to take over. Obviously some schools have chosen to continue using the services of an external instructor. |
