This course is for the instructor who has already completed their Level 2 instructor training in New Zealand (by doing a SurfingNZ/ISA/NZSUP instructor course in the last 5 years that went beyond purely beginner-based lessons), and is wanting to refresh their knowledge. If you have a SUP Instructor qualification from outside of NZ and are looking to convert to the NZ system then please check out the conversion course.
Level 2 SUP instruction is about teaching progressors – those who have done a beginner lesson (or self taught) and are looking to gain skills above and beyond complete beginner level. It can be thought of as “lessons 2, 3 4, etc.” Topics include improved turning skills, stances and improving paddling technique. To see the various other ways of taking the Level 2 course check the course page here.
To complete the Level 2 renewal you should have also completed (or renewed) your Level 1 course as this covers essentials such as up to date first aid certification, safety knowledge, etc.
The Level 2 renewal process can be completed entirely online via this course. If you choose to work through every lesson it will take around 4 hours. If you choose to work through the minimum required it will take about half that.
The process consists of the following steps:
Work through the online lessons contained in this course, covering material that has either changed since your last course, or qualifies as essential revision.
Complete and pass the online test at the end of the course, so as to be sure that you are current in your required knowledge for instructing SUP at beyond beginner level.
