Suspension of School's accreditation with IKO since May 2023 - Misleading and Deceptive Conduct
Rip Curl School Of Surf的点评
点评:We booked an allegedly IKO accredited training for IKO level 3 kiteboarding with their Sanur Beach location. The school still advertises that they are IKO certified.
We booked four lessons and there was no wind and we waiting 10 days and then had to send the school a letter of demand because they initially did not want to refund the money for the remaining two lessons despite the contract being voidable as there was no wind. When we then requested partial IKO recognition level 2, we were told that they had to "do a video for the IKO" to fix their certification and there had been no wind. On contacting the International Kiteboard Organization, they advised us that the school's certification was suspended in May 2023 because of con-compliance. Given that May-Sep is high wind season in Bali, they would have had ample opportunity to fix the non-compliance. So they misled us again. No matter whether the instruction was safe and with care, the fact that the company holds themselves out that they can issue a certification when in fact there right to do so has been suspended for over 6 months is misleading and deceptive. This also influences insurances and liability. I would suggest to not engage with the school until they have (if at all) been re-accredited and look at the IKO website.
翻译:我们在沙努尔海滩地点预订了据称是 IKO 认证的 IKO 3 级风筝冲浪培训。学校仍然宣传他们获得了 IKO 认证。
我们预订了四节课,但没有风,我们等了 10 天,然后不得不向学校发送一封要求信,因为他们最初不想退还剩下两节课的钱,尽管合同因无风而无效。当我们随后请求部分 IKO 认可级别 2 时,我们被告知他们必须“为 IKO 制作一段视频”来修复他们的认证,但没有任何进展。在联系国际风筝冲浪组织时,他们告知我们,由于违规,学校的认证已于 2023 年 5 月暂停。鉴于五月至九月是巴厘岛的大风季节,他们本来有充足的机会来解决违规问题。所以他们又误导了我们。无论指示是否安全、谨慎,公司声称自己可以颁发认证,而实际上这样做的权利已被暂停超过 6 个月,这一事实都是误导和欺骗性的。这也会影响保险和责任。我建议在学校(如果有的话)重新获得认证之前不要与学校接触,并查看 IKO 网站。
