Instructor - CQP IV

Note: The training of federal sailing instructors has changed since August 2007 and evolved since December 2018.
 

The diploma is now called: Certificate of Professional Qualification Sailing Initiator (CQP IV - Certificat de Qualification Professionnelle Initiateur Voile).
 

The content of the training has evolved taking into account in particular:
 

• The new teaching approach of the French Sailing Federation (FFV- Fédération Française de Voile).

 

• The valorization of an Instructor Assistant function.

The trainee should have a valid license during the whole training period and during the examination of its file (jury and edition of the diploma included) as well as when he will supervise as an Instructor.
