It is with great pleasure that AESDP – Portuguese Surfing School Association and ASI – Academy of Surfing Instructors announce the extension of the partnership to the year 2021. ASI, an international reference in the teaching of Surf, SUP and Bodyboard, operates in Portugal as a training entity, specialized in sport.
It is certified by DGERT (General Directorate for Employment and Labor Relations) as a Training Entity in the area of education and training in Sport.

As a result of this partnership, each participant who takes the Surfing Coaches Grade I course with ASI will benefit from 1 year of membership as an associate member of AESDP.
“We are proud to support the growth of AESDP,” says Tania Nesbitt, Director of ASI. “AESDP offers a voice to Surf Schools and professionals in Portugal, so that they can be heard by different levels of government and tourism.”
In addition, Coaches who complete the ASI 'IPDJ Grade I Surfing Trainers' course also have the option of enrolling in the ASI 'Level 1 Surfing Instructor' course, in order to complement their training and obtain an instructor qualification international surfing, which will make them able to work in different corners of the world.
