Turn your passion into a career with our huge range of surf instructor courses around the globe.

From the island paradises of Bali or Sri Lanka to the rugged coastline of South Africa our range of surf instructor courses all come with a worldwide recognised certification so you can go live the dream!

Choose from the longer, “zero to hero” courses suitable for all levels of surfers and including heaps of coaching to get your skills up to speed through to shorter, certification only options for experienced surfers.

Chances are, if you’re looking at becoming a surf instructor you’re also wondering what level of surfer you need to be and whether you can really become a qualified surf coach in a 10 or 12 week programme.

Well passing the actual surf assessment isn’t as hard as you might think, you just need to be able to demonstaate the following skills:

• Paddle out safely in head high waves (no ditching your board!)
• Catch both left and right, unbroken waves
• Perform a basic top and bottom turn in both directions
• Safely ride or kick out of a wave

Getting to that level with the amount of coaching and water time you’ll have on a zero to hero style course should be no worries – you just need to listen, practice and make the most of all your training!
