The video's included with the course could be better. Current there is just a person reading the text from the manual. For that purpose the audio would suffice. Rather, I'd think it would be very useful to show some imagery of how certain things work. For example, our instructor Alex showed a video/simulation of how the air flows around an air foil and how the drag/lift changes with a change in angle of attack. That was very insightful and makes for much quicker learning.

Alex did a great job as a trainer and gave us a lot of useful background information on every topic.

We did not have enough wind to show our own skills, we need to send a video as soon as possible! Overall great experience

Alex was the best trainer we could think of. Authentic, professional, reliable and truly committed to share his experience to make us better instructors. Thank you!

We couldn't practice the self rescue, landing & launching as we had 30+knots on a busy kite spot so the teacher rightly decided not to do it, safety first.
Reviewed 14 Jul 2020
The instructor had to prospone de last 2 days of our course because he had personal business with his brand Harlem kites. Therefor we didn't do any riding ourselves, the owner of the school I work has confirmed that my riding is good enough.

Thanks Kitesafe I had a super good time and learned a lot.
I had a nice welcome and good instructions by Alex and his team of teachers (in training) everybody was really motivated to give good instructions, information about safety, tecniques, posibilities and situations. I had 2x 2.5 hr classes and the team taught me the basic principles and techniques well and fast, next step is the water start, witch I was advised to learn about indoor water instead of the sea with a more experienced teacher. After that I will definitely return for more lessons and fun with the team :-)

I absolutely would recommend Kitesafe as AITC training center.

There was unfortunately not much wind during the course. Enough for 2 days of teaching to real students, but rating of our own kite skills was done via video (or in my case, owner of the kiteschool observed me kiting on a wind day outside of the course)

Theory was very usefull. Trainer was very likeable, only thing is that i think students should get more time to practice. I understand the commercial need, but sometimes they finish a course and do not have enough real skills

Hello IKO,
Thanks for this first step in transforming my passion into my life.
Just a little additional feedback: I believe that several subjects in the manuals can be explained by using more simple english words - its quite often that me and other students need to use a dictionary for translating 'expensive words' while it could be easily replaced for simpel words saying the same.
Looking forward to the next course.

The IKO lesson plan leaves limited options for creativity. This is fair, since certain topics have to be covered. However, sometimes i got the feeling we were "going through the book" together, which i can also perfectly do by myself (reading). If possible i would recommend to make sure students read by theirselves, and key topics are presented/discussed in a more (inter-)active way. Overall i was really happy with the AITC-Plus and especially with the performance by the Assistant Trainer, Alexander Morgenstern. Thumbs up, many thanks, and see you on the water. :-)

Please make a shorter course for people who have (much) experience in teaching kitesurfing.
