That's what I do too! It's good because it means you can get
loads of experience so when you come to do the testyou find it
pretty easy. (Or so I've been told, will let you know in a couple
of years!)

I am an assistant, n there were planty of instructors floating around... I don't think you have to be accompanied, just acting under orders of/being supervised.

Actually our parents are quite good - we stand back n let them lift the boats into the water... they sometimes give me funny looks when i say i'm the instructor tho, being 14...
