Teaching Watersports to clients whether it be a Learn to Sail, Windsurfing or teaching the internationally recognised RYA Powerboat Training courses can be a rewarding, challenging and fun career or just a fun pastime.
Life as a Watersports Instructor opens many doors to working and travelling overseas, joining the Super Yacht industry or even the military and Elements Watersports Instructor Training Courses are completed by people looking for just these sorts of opportunities here in NZ and around the world.
Qualified Watersports instructors enjoy a career that merges work, play and a lifestyle that many are envious of. They enjoy helping clients achieve their goals, have the most exciting Watersports holidays and watch as one of their students sails off on their own for the very first time or completes their first carve gybe.
Becoming a Watersports instructor offers you a unique experience to take something you are passionate about and make it a career.
All our instructor training programmes are run by experienced trainers who are actively involved in the Watersports industry.
RYA Powerboat and PWC Instructor Training
The Powerboat Instructor is a competent & experienced powerboat handler who has been trained to teach powerboating up to the standard of the RYA National Powerboat Certificate (Level 2) under the supervision of the Principal of an RYA Training Centre.
A Powerboat Instructor (PBI) is qualified to teach Level One, Two and the Safety Boat Course (only if they themselves possess these qualifications)
The PBI course is suitable for those that have a passion for boating and have gained a good amount of experience across a range of craft and who want to teach others how to get the most from their time onboard. Becoming a PBI allows you to seek out a career in the industry and work at an RYA Powerboat centre here in NZ or overseas.
And the PBI is a pre cursor to becoming a Personal Watercraft Instructor allowing you to sit a one day conversion from PBI to PW instructor for those of you who already hold the PWC Certificate.
RYA Powerboat Instructor Training ~ days
This is an intensive course which is a mixture of instruction, continual assessment and moderation.
After introductions and a discussion of course outcomes we look at various aspects of instructional techniques. Then it’s off onto the water giving you a chance to get used to the boats we will be using and start practising instructing each other. Over the remainder of the course new Instructors instruct sessions both on and off the water with regular debriefs with our Trainer where we ensure that you are getting the key teaching points across at each session.
All our Powerboat Instructor courses are run on demand so please contact us and talk to a member of staff to confirm the next available course dates and answer any questions you may have.
