The fast path to your license

1. 1

   Registration

   Submit two photos, a watersport resume in table format, your basic certificate(s), first aid certificate and lifeguard certificate. You then receive the registration papers for the course.

2. 2

   Theory by distance learning

   After registration and payment you receive the distance-learning materials: a detailed instruction manual, lectures on methodology and didactics, physics of sailing, laws and meteorology, plus the full question-and-answer complex for the final theory exam. Work through them any time before the practical training.

3. 3

   Practical course

   You work as an assistant trainer under a WWS head instructor directly at a school — holding beginner, advanced, children's and group courses, teaching theory, preparing and grading exams, and using safety and rescue equipment. At least 14 days (about 70–90 practical hours), extendable by agreement.

4. 4

   Examination

   Theory: oral and written exams drawn from the distance-learning question complex, taken in parts during the practical training if needed. Practical: your teaching is evaluated across the entire training period — methodology, didactics, safety, first aid and water rescue, plus safe mastery of your sport in strong winds.
