Instructor Equivalency Course (IEC)

IECs (Instructor Equivalency Course) are designed for instructors from other organizations (PASA, FAV & FEV) to cross over to the IKO and become IKO certified instructors, or for IKO instructors to cross over to snowkiting or Kiteboarding (depending on their certification).

The IKO IEC course is ran in 3 days.

Who can organize an IEC?
IKO affiliated centers can organize as many IECs as necessary.
Non IKO affiliated can organize 1 IEC. They need to affiliate their school to the IKO if they want to organize more courses.

How to schedule an IEC?
Fill it the online application form with your suggested dates. IKO Support will contact you and confirm the training dates by email, as well as the name of the IKO examiner that will be in charge of the course.

Tip! The sooner you schedule the training, the more time you have to attract candidate instructors. We suggest you schedule a training at least 3 months in advance.
