This online learning package is for the instructor looking to teach SUP beyond beginner level on a commercial basis.
Level 2 SUP instruction is about taking the progressor to the next levels of paddleboarding: improving their turning skills and increasing their repertoire of turning techniques, introducing new stances, taking them into more challenging conditions, and of course, improving their general paddling skills.
This online lessons in this course cover the theory, safety understanding and background knowledge to take your clients on their journey of progress. There are 11 lessons in this online course, which will take about 4 hours to complete, plus however long it takes you to complete your assignments and pass the final test.
This is full version of the Level 2 course, as opposed to the Level 2 training package only. In this course you also have to submit video assignments which will be assessed to give you feedback and work-ons. To complete the assignments you will need access to paddleboard equipment, and the assistance of at least two other people, one to film you and the other (ideally two or three) to be your ‘students’ in your assignment videos. At least one of these will need a paddleboard and paddle also.
As all watersports and activity instructors should be first-aid qualified as part of the Safety Management system they will be operating under, so we strongly recommend that you get a suitable First Aid qualification (‘first aid in the workplace’ or equivalent) as well as completing our FREE ONLINE SUP RESCUE course.
You may be wondering whether an online-only course can be a valid way to complete an instructor course. Check out our FAQ pages for much more information on this.
We strongly recommend that you do not attempt this course until you’ve completed the Level 1 training package, since that’s where all the safety and legal aspects of running a SUP business are covered.
You are welcome to rewatch the lessons as many times as you like, and you will continue to have access to the material for 6 months after completion, so it remains a valuable information archive.
VALIDATION
The training package is based on best practice and is in line with other paddleboard instruction qualifications worldwide. It does not offer a formal certification so it does not have a specific validity period but we would strongly recommend renewing the course every few years, to keep your skill levels current.
