The best course for you, relies on what you need, who you are.
What kind of instructors do you like? why?
Do you want to make a living of it?
Would you like to follow a set regime, or would like to be loyal to your own principles?
What do you wish to learn?
Personally I'm no certified freedive instructor, but before buying into a system I would first do some research into myself.
Love, courage and water.

Rakel, if you really enjoy freediving much, you might even choose to do something out of the water, in order to keep the pleasant association with the water. As a starting swim instructor I can honestly say that the desire to go to the pool has declined because I'm so much at the pool (work).
Also consider, do you like explaining things to people? and more importantly do you like listening to people?
The main reason I'm a swim instructor is I like to see people grow, you know seeing that spark of discovery in their eyes. Here in Netherlands we have a extensive swim tradition, because we got a lot of water around. Surely I teach some freedive techniques hidden in my lessons (colleagues don't like diversion of the mainstream...)
Also one has to consider that with world economy being demolished, people have less and less to spend and it will go to necessities. Tourism will be only for the very rich.
So think it's better to be flexible and learn to teach more than one skill.
Please consider all the questions. Give yourself time to let them resonate within. Write down your own questions, build an overview.
