I would like to do the surf instructor course, but never surfed before is it possible to attend the course?

The 3 month course is perfect for you if you have little or no experience. The 3 month course is designed for absolute beginners and starts off with our 5 Day Learn to Surf Adventure, which gets you comfortable in the water and catching your own waves in the white wash before you start at the Surf Academy.

I want to do a course before I come out there and will have 2 weeks surf experience by the time I come to the surf instructor course. Can I do the 2 month course?

If you are looking to train up and become a certified instructor, and you already have surfing experience then the 2 month course is perfect.

How many people take your course?

For each enrollment on the 1st Monday of each mo

The surf instructors

nth we’ve consistently be taking between 3-5 new students, and they work in with current students.  We typically have a good group of surf students at the camp, which creates a great little community.

Would many of them be beginners like myself?

All our Academy students start off as beginners or very basic intermediates, so you won’t have to worry about being out of your league.

Is the cert recognised in Europe and the rest of the world?

All the qualifications are recognized internationally, in Europe, and the U.K, but ultimately it comes down to the hiring surf school and whether or not the choose to recognize it.  We do have contacts in Europe, and helped with job placement in the past. Also, we currently have our coaches with the same qualifications heading over to Europe every Winter (Europe summer), but again it does depend on what the hiring school chooses to recognize.

Do I need a working Visa as I ‘ work” 20 hours during the course in the shop?

You do not need the work holiday visa to do the 20 hrs, as it is unpaid and considered training.

Those 20hrs are when they learn how to manage the groups, pick the correct locations, and instruct the customers.  So no need for the 462 visa. A tourist visa is fine, but they are usually 90 days max.

When are the starting dates, and can you help me find accommodation if I arrive early?

The starting date is every 1st Monday of the month. We can help you with accommodation in Sydney.

How are the accommodations set up?

There are 2 different places where you will train. The accommodation is shared. There will be others staying with you on a room. It is great accommodation. At the beach with lots of communal spaces where you can relax. In the evenings BBQ’s are often organized. It is all about the surfing Life style here and you will meet lots of people.
