Professional Water sports Training courses are fast becoming the most popular way to travel to some of the most exotic locations of the world. Two or three months training should be enough to enable you get work with water sports providers’ worldwide. And because there is a greater global demand for water sports staff than there are instructors, you can work as much or as little as you like, after all you are taking a break!

Want to learn some great new skills and get qualified to teach your favourite water-sport? Join us in windy, beautiful Perth this summer and enjoy living in the heart of the city whilst windsurfing in this world-class location. Obtain Yachting Australia qualifications, impressive shortboard skills including waveriding, and set yourself up for a job at a high wind centre.
Extreme Sports Cafe’s Partner Perth Windsurfing centre is an ASI Accredited Surf School, WA Department of Environment and Conservation Licensed Tour Operator as well as an Australian Sports Commission AASC provider.
These Windsurfing Instructor Courses are structured around a 6 week ‘zero to hero’ programme which takes you from beginner to YA Basic Skills instructor, with all the appropriate and sundry qualifications needed such as first aid and powerboat handling. The courses also include a 5-day wave clinic at Lancelin, WA. (Intermediates)
Around this 6-week format are variations to cater for those wishing to obtain sailing skills only without qualifications, and the opposite for experienced windsurfers after just instructor training and certification.
The strength of these courses are definitely the conditions, with the majority of the instruction undertaken at Safety Bay, but also at other locations around Perth on the Swan River and Beaches. These courses are only offered during the windy summer months, and the only long boards you will see are during the beginner stages. We are also able to offer a 1-week wave clinic at our Surf Camp in Lancelin, WA. This area has a good deepwater break, is excellent for your first attempts at waveriding and also has a protected lagoon for those less confident.

These courses are based around a competent, fit person with a genuine passion for windsurfing and teaching; such a person would very easily pass all of the requirements.
