Some details on the Surf Instructor training in Australia

When does the training start?

Surf training in nature and in the heart of a rich ecosystem, starts every Monday.

What are the requirements for taking the course?

No surfing experience is required, you just need to be a good swimmer, have a sufficient level of English to follow a conversation and understand the instructions, be 18 years old and have a working holiday visa.

Is it easy to find work in Australia with this degree?

Yes, surf instructors are in high demand in Australia, especially during the high season on the east coast (October – March).

The school that provides this training in Australia very often recruits the instructors it has trained in its nature surf camps.

What is the average salary per hour?

It depends on the surf schools. Some pay minimum wage (AU$16.87 per hour), others choose to pay less but provide accommodation and meals.

In which other countries can you teach surfing with this diploma?

The ASI Level 1 surf instructor diploma is recognized worldwide, and allows you to work wherever you want. A very large number of surf schools worldwise recognize the ASI certification

Is it compulsory to do the 3-month training for people who already have experience in surfing?

There are a number of hours of legal training to obtain the diploma, but the school can choose to shorten the training for students with a high level at the start. All registration fees must be paid before starting. If you don’t need the full 3 months, the school will compensate you on the spot.

Are there any financial aids?

Yes ! This training can be partly financed by your Regional Council which offers scholarships for internships abroad. Works councils also provide funding for training.
