IMPORTANT INFORMATION / FAQs
To gain your ASI Level 1 SUP Instructor qualification, the following 3 ASI courses are required:
ASI SUP Wise Intensiv
ASI SUP Water Safety Rescue Award
ASI Level 1 SUP Instructor (Enclosed Flat Water)
This enrolment option is available exclusively to those who already hold the ASI SUP Wise Intensiv
certification. 
If you haven’t completed it yet, no problem—you can take it alongside the Level 1 SUP Instructor
Course. 
The SUP Wise Intensiv certification is a prerequisite, meaning you must either hold the certificate or
be enrolled before taking the Level 1 SUP Instructor Course. 
Additionally, you have the option to complete your rescue course at the same time. 
All three courses are scheduled on the same day. 
If you'd like a different enrolment choice, you can register for all three courses together by selecting
the "Combined" enrolment option.
