WHY BECOME A BKSA INSTRUCTOR?
All BKSA training courses are run by British Kitesports Recognised Schools and recognised trainers. BKSA have designed their instructor courses with the aim of creating a standardised training route for kitesurfing in the UK. This means that the courses that we run are linked to a world-based standard, whilst also including extra training modifications specific to the UK.
With BKSA, the qualification has been structured modularly meaning that prospective instructors can build up to their full qualification over time by adding additional training to their core course. Additional training includes foil training, skin kite training, further safety inputs and much more.
