The license was developed due to the high safety requirements of the sport and is issued according to the uniform training and examination regulations of the VDWS e.V. The ID card is valid towards the authorities as a proof of competence for the well-founded safety training in kite sports.<\/p>\n<p>The document guarantees that all holders of this card have the necessary basic knowledge and skills and can practice their sport carefully in safe harmony with nature and the environment and in the interests of other water sports enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c442\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-text frame-layout-0\">\n<h2>Training in six stages<\/h2>\n<p>The entire training for the &#8220;<em>International Kitesurfing Basic Licence<\/em>&#8221; is divided into six training blocks (so-called levels). For each level, the student has to prove and document his qualifications by taking partial exams. Until you have reached level 4, you should first go on the water under supervision, e.g. in &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.learnkiteboardingnow.de\/en\/?page_id=21767\">supervised kiting<\/a>&#8221; in order to gain the necessary confidence in handling the kite equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c443\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-text frame-layout-0\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"\">test<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p>For the complete <em>International<\/em> <em>Kitesurfing Basic Licence<\/em>, five practical tests and one theoretical test are required. Parts of the practical exam (e.g. launching, landing and safe control of the kite or water start, maintaining height and gaining height) can be checked during a course during a lesson. The theory test is taken after a 1.5 hour theory seminar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c444\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-text frame-layout-0\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"\">diploma<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<p>If you pass the theoretical exam, you will receive your VDWS license.
