The water sports assistant becomes a VDWS member free of charge for two years at the start of the training and is entitled to use all associated advantages. After two years or after completing the instructor course, he will automatically become a full member with an annual fee of 51 euros.
If the instructor course is attended within two years, the water sports assistant receives a 10% discount on the course fee.
If the internship of the instructor training takes place at the same training school, the internship can be reduced by up to 50% (50 instead of 100 hours). If the internship takes place at a foreign school, it can be reduced by 20% (80 instead of 100 hours).
Job or profession?
More is expected from teachers in water sports today than a few years ago. Often schools that only offered one sport have become large stations over time offering surfing, kiting, cat and dinghy sailing. The modular system of the VDWS training system offers the opportunity to acquire an individual professional profile and gradually expand it. It is supplemented by further training in school management and internship supervision.
Not everyone wants to turn their hobby into a career. For some it is a job for 2-4 years, e.g. after school or while studying. With an apprenticeship, you can quickly learn the basic knowledge you need to teach yourself. And then the money is right too.
Course focus
- Training of driving skills
- Demonstration ability
- Introduction to teaching and planning
- Organizational forms and practical lessons
- Implementation of a beginner’s course
- Lessons for advanced learners
- Lessons for children, animation
- Job description or job: opportunities and possibilities
- Material science
The courses last 8-10 days. You will then complete your 100-hour internship in a VDWS school and if you have successfully completed you will receive a windsurf, kitesurf, cat or dinghy license. This entitles you to train and test for the basic certificate of the VDWS.
