IQC, instructor qualification clinic at Yokosuka base

IQCs are frequently held at Osaka and Yokosuka in Japan by an ASA international instructor evaluator Yoh Aoki.

ASA Sailing Instructor clinics test existing skills and knowledge while teaching a structured curriculum and proven presentation techniques. ASA certified sailing instructors have proven they measure up to a national standard which is used by more than 90% of the commercial sailing schools in the country. Take the challenge and attend an ASA Instructor Qualification Clinic (IQC).
