Very informative and knowledgeable. Had the pleasure to learn from one of the best trainers Bernie who made the course enjoyable. Look forward to taking on his approach and adding my own delivery with my teaching in the future.

Berny was a great examiner, I enjoyed his style of teaching. The weather made it a little difficult to conduct lessons however Berny still managed to teach us the required standards well and in a safe manner.

Personally tailored training to suit my needs and my level.
Berny began by carefully assessing my kiting abilities and all of my deficiencies. He then methodically corrected each and every point that was not right, giving me full confidence to go ahead on my own. But I will be back!
Once I have put Berny's instruction into practice, I will want to learn more.
The spot is really good too.

The course was extremely helpful. Bernie always made sure we are not stressed out and helped us with whatever we needed. He explained things in very creative ways and was very patient with us. When I was coming for the course I was really worried and stressed and once I arrived and met everyone I felt like I'm in a right place. I have gained a lot of practice and knowledge in these few days. I will strongly recommend both Bernie and Zoey for anyone that wants to train for an instructor or simply become a better kitesurfer.

The course was overall very good. The trainer and everyone else at the school were very helpful and kind. However, the fact that some students spend 4, 8 or 12weeks at the school previous to the course while others come just for the one-week AITC does unfortunately have an impact in terms teaching dynamics and follow up to individual student's needs.

I Did the Level 1 iko course at the same time as the Assistant instructor course... My assessor passed me as an Assistant instructor but not the Level 1. I think I am competent to teach beginners from knowing nothing right up to getting airs themselves. however I was given 40 hours of shadowing because of a couple misunderstandings between my assessor and I. I dont agree with his decision. His decision was unfair and puts me off even bothering trying to get my ticket sorted. I would possibly recommend them to beginners who want to learn how to kitesurf, but I wouldnt reccommend them to people who can already kitesurf and want to become instructors themselves.

Great Learning, Great fun!
I enjoyed doing my IKO assistant Instructor (and Level 1 Instructor) course at Airzone Kitesurf School NZ. Berny has tons of experience and I enjoyed his teaching and the learning environment. It was the right balance of laid back yet very appropriate structure and sequence for information, observation, and hands on teaching. The camp itself is a great environment to stay in, with excellent facilities and wonderful food. I made new friends and improved my kiting as well as my ability to teach others. I feel ready to move on as an IKO instructor.

Great examiner and good course
In the last days had my assistant instructor course with berry, he is a very professional and very friendly examiner. He is very experienced and knows exactly how to teach the important lectures. The safety aspect was very important for him and me and the students felt safe during the whole time. The material we used was in very good conditions and very easy and save to use.
Overall I was really happy with berny as an instructor and airzone kitesurf enter!
