Your Training Schedule

Training is six days per week, starting at 10 am and running to 5 pm with one hour for lunch. You also have the option of participating in two fitness sessions each week, including mountain biking, yoga, swimming, circuit training, and SUP. The training day concludes at 5 pm with a debriefing on the day’s events. After this, you can use the equipment alone or with fellow students until the sun goes down!

Saturday is your day off, and many students choose to explore the island of Lefkada or head into Vassaliki town. After dark, the town’s bars, cafes, and restaurants come alive, providing plenty of opportunities for socialising. Club Vass also put on regular BBQs, which have become legendary with students and instructors over the years. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.

I whole heartedly recommend the windsurf instructor course and absolutely loved my time in Vasiliki. The instructors were really focused on getting our windsurfing up to scratch. I not only went from quite a beginner windsurfer to intermediate going advanced, i also gained my power boat qualification which opened up a whole new world of opportunity. We were definitely taught by the best ! Vass is a social hub full of talented people who all have similar interests and are always keen to help each other. we all gained new life long friends and useful connections in the industry. On the couse, you get 1 day off a week in which we would explore the beautiful island and all its gorgeous sights. 6 weeks of my life that i shall never forget and cherish always!

Had an incredible time on the fast track windsurfing course! I had so much fun on and off the water. The instructors were great with helping me improve both my windsurfing and teaching skills, and the dinners and themed nights out were so fun and I met some great people! Would recommend this beautiful place!

Probably the best summer of my life!! Coaches are lovely and scenery is beautiful. I did the fast track windsurfing instructor course as well as work experience after. Not only did my windsurfing improve, but also my confidence in speaking amongst strangers and various other soft skills. 10/10 would recommend :))

A great holistic program for watersports instructor training and experiencing Greece - with everything provided from fancy group dinners, nights out, theme parties, and early morning fitness, you get to see everything from sunrise to sunset! In terms of watersports, you have 24/7 access to the kit and so can advance in the sport quickly and easily become the best instructor you can be! They will also set you up with work experience after your training so that you can dive head first into the industry - just an example of how helpful they are throughout the whole course.
