Windsurfing instructor courses
Piotr Golba, VDWS representative in Poland invites you to take part in the windsurfing instructor course organised at the SurfPoint school in Jastarnia.
If you are a great swimmer and dream of a career as a windsurfing instructor and working in schools in Poland and abroad, this course is for you! The VDWS instructor course is conducted for the most part in the form of a workshop, where the participants are the most active rather than the instructor.
For the most part, the lecturer instructors only act as facilitators, thus forcing the instructor candidates to work creatively and find solutions. Any mistakes made by the trainees are discussed on an ongoing basis using concrete examples.

VDWS courses prepare you to teach in different conditions, with different groups (age, size), on different bodies of water, in different organisational formulas and with different clients.
