People learn at different speeds. The VDWS kite license proves your capabilities and your actual level of knowledge. Because it is valid internationally, you can hire kite equipment at all water sport stations to kitesurf and wingfoil at all official spots.
In the description of our courses, you will find the course content described as well in VDWS Kitesufing and VDWS Wingfoiling levels. The practical parts you will absolve with your instructor during the course lessons. The theoretical part you absolve by a short multiple choice test.
