| NSSIA
Accredited Educational and Lifeguard Sponsored Organizations |
| The requesting
organization submits the NSSIA application along with biographies
attesting to the experience of their instructors. All instructors
are CPR certified. Such organizations also be identified as non-profit
public entities and will have current insurance coverage. Organizations
meeting this criteria do not require a NSSIA certified instructor
on staff to be a NSSIA accredited organization. |
| |
| NSSIA
Accredited Commercial Surf Schools and Business Sponsored Lessons |
| For a surf or SUP
school or business to be NSSIA accredited, it must have been providing
advertising to the public and providing group and individual lessons
for at least a season or have a contract with a city or state beach.
The school/business submits their application
and supporting information to NSSIA validating that they have a
business license and an individual with a current CPR certificate
on staff. The individual in charge of running the classes and instructing
prior to entering the water must be NSSIA certified. Additional
instructors in the water do not require certification. |

| NSSIA
Accreditation/Certification Web Listing |
| Upon instructor
certification or school accreditation, NSSIA will list the certification
or accreditation as an officially approved NSSIA resource for surfing
instruction. We only request that the state issues the business
license. No US school will be accredited without a business license.
However, this license can be either for a surf school or for a business
such as a surf shop or beach hotel that would traditionally offer
surf lessons. |
| |
| Accreditation
for Small Surf Schools |
| For schools
with 3 or fewer instructors, accreditation will be awarded so
long as all instructors are certified by the NSSIA at any level.
This is a provisional accreditation that must be re-evaluated
on a yearly basis to ensure continued instructor certification
is in effect. |
| |
| Certification
Training Camps |
| To waive the
previous surf/SUP instructor experience requirement for certification,
a candidate can opt to attend a surf/SUP instructor certification
training camp. |
| |
| NSSIA
Surf School Insurance |
| All schools
receiving final NSSIA accreditation will be able to take advantage
of our
NSSIA Cornerstone school insurance program. |
