Their website lists the offerings. Last I checked Quebec had some plus a few in California.

I was looking into this for a friend not too long ago.

Do not sign up for the course in Quebec. It's taught in French in a pure francophone region, and your BC high school french class won't cut it.

I'm from QC and did my IKO in the US. Lake Michigan at a beach house with hot tub, pool table and a good ratio. Also, at the time it was the closest and fastest option.

There's one in Seattle on the 17th of June.

If you can swing it, I'd take a trip to Europe. Portugal would be an awesome way to start you kite instructor journey. Cheap once you're there too.

Great comprehensive info! There's good reason for smart in your handle :)
Portugal sounds fun.
There is certainly a growing demand for IKO-certified kiteboard instructors.
