Flying Fish looks for clear visibility, warm water, reliable wind and powder snow - but most of all for the world's best training locations. The rapid growth of the action sports industry ensures there is always demand for qualified instructors and of course, you'll be working in fantastic surroundings.

Flying Fish trains and recruits over 1000 people each year to work as yacht skippers and as sailing, diving, surfing, windsurfing, ski and snowboard instructors. Courses are run in the UK, Austrlia, Canada, Greece.

For some water or snowsports is a first career, while others have changed direction later in life. There is no age limit and the classic Fish course mixes students of 18 with professionals in their forties and fifties.

Courses range from one to 22 weeks and are available for complete beginners and for those who already have some experience. Once qualified, take advantage of the free job placement and careers advice service that Flying Fish offers to source hundreds of job opportunties worldwide.
