The course consists of an hour of theory lessons as well as a final theoretical examination. For the theoretical exam, you get the VDWS Work and Stylebook. It includes the complete kitesurfing basic knowledge, maneuvers, and term explanations. The topics of the theory lesson are, for example, material science, rules of priority, and safety. After successfully completing the course, you are the proud owner of your own VDWS license.

the participant of the license course receives a personal kitesurfing license, from your surf instructor. The card with a sequential license number becomes a permanent companion. It is helpful when borrowing material or in order to be able to prove VDWS kite training to local authorities. Confirmation for already completed levels is provided with a special sticker
(similar to a TÜV badge) on the Kitesurfing Licence Card.
The VDWS skill level system consists of 7 levels and a theory step. Level 5 and a theory level are the prerequisites for the classical basic certificate level.
