FAQ See all

When does my membership expire?

Log in to your account on the IKO website to find your expiry date on the homepage of your profile. Renew before your expiry date to avoid losing your licence to teach and all the benefits of being an IKO Assistant/Instructor.

Which payment methods can I use to renew?

You can pay with a credit card, bank transfer, or PayPal.

How can I set up an automatic renewal?

Next time that you renew your membership, choose “Automatic renewal with Paypal”. This will enable a recurring payment every year on your expiry date. Make sure that your Paypal account has funds.

What happens if my membership expires?

From the day that your membership expires, you are no longer recognized as an IKO Instructor which means that you lose your license to teach and all the benefits associated with being a member of IKO including insurance coverage..

Why do I have to pay late fees?

If you leave your membership expired for more than 2 months, you will have to pay late fees of $40 USD on top of your membership. Late fees encourage members to renew on time and cover additional administrative work involved in late renewals. The late fee will extend your membership by one year after the payment date where as the regular membership renewal extends your membership by one year after the current expiry date.

What happens if I renew after 12 months of being expired?

If you leave your membership expired for more than 12 months, you will have to pass an online exam corresponding to your certification level with a score higher than 70% to be able to renew. Late fees will apply on top of the membership renewal.

What happens if I want to renew after 2 years of being expired?

If you leave your membership expired for more than 2 years, you will have to attend an Instructor Reinstaitment Course (IRC) to be reactivated.
