Windsurf Instructor (half board)
RYA Half Board Start Windsurf Instructor Course - Scotland
The RYA Start Windsurf Instructor Course runs over 5 days, Monday to Friday. This is the half board option (including accommodation, breakfasts and lunches). The course takes place here at The Galloway Activity Centre on the lovely Loch Ken in Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland. We have now trained over 500 instructors, many who have gone on to take up senior roles at centres globally - so you are in safe hands with us!
The course will be run by a coach assessor and moderated on the final day by a second coach assessor. You will be taught the RYA method and learn training techniques which will qualify you to teach RYA Start Windsurfing and the Youth Windsurfing Scheme (stages 1 and 2), both inland and coastal. You can find more information on the RYA website.
The course runs from Monday - Friday and this is the half board option (see below for details). Upon purchase of the course, we will contact you via email with your joining instructions.
Please note, the course requires a minimum of 4 candidates to be able to run and should this number not be reached, the course will need to be cancelled.
