The Instructor Qualification Clinics (IQC) are not training courses but rather an evaluation of the candidate’s knowledge, skills, and ability to teach ASA classes. This ASA 201 IQC is the first instructor-level clinic in the ASA keelboat training system and certifies an individual for teaching the ASA 101, Basic Keelboat course. ASA Instructor Certification Standards parallel those required for students but at a much higher level and with an emphasis on teaching skills. Candidates are evaluated by a certified ASA Instructor Evaluator and must score 90% or more on the written examination, pass a rigorous oral examination, and demonstrate extensive on-the-water skills.
-
1. Candidates must be a current ASA member, or willing to reactivate their membership.
2. Candidates must have completed the ASA 101 student course. -
