The Directorate of Tourism, Andaman and Nicobar Administration, in association with the Surfing Federation of India (SFI), will conduct a surf training programme at Little Andaman to develop a pool of qualified local surf instructors on the island.
The programme will comprise two months of surf training, followed by the ISA Surf Instructor Level 1 course and the ISA/ILS Aquatic Rescue course. Successful candidates will receive internationally recognised certifications.
Six candidates will be selected for the programme, with the Directorate of Tourism bearing the entire cost of their training and certification. Training will also be provided to other eligible candidates; however, they will have to bear their own certification fees.
The selection process will be conducted on November 1 at Little Andaman. It will include a 200-metre swimming test to be completed in under five minutes, a surf fitness test, an assessment of surfing ability and a personal interview.
Interested islanders aged above 18 years can apply through the Google Form available at https://forms.gle/GQWtvcGPhvesZtGt5. Applicants must upload their Islander ID card, Aadhaar Card and medical fitness certificate along with the application.
The last date for submission of applications is October 28. Shortlisted candidates will be informed of the selection venue and reporting time through phone or email.
