Learn to be a Scuba Instructor the "SSI Way." Most instructor programs focus only on teaching diving. However, most dive businesses require much more of instructors than merely teaching. The SSI Instructor Training Course (ITC) prepares you to become an active member of the scuba industry, a successful educator, and a valuable dive business employee.

Your training includes:

• Techniques for recruiting, teaching and evaluating students
• The SSI Education System and Education Philosophy
• How dive industry stakeholders interact (manufacturers, media, agencies, retail and travel)
• How successful dive retailers and resorts operate
• Effective techniques for teaching in the pool and open water
• Legal aspects of teaching
• The basics of educational sales using SSI's Customer Loyalty Cycle

What Else Can You Teach?

• Open Water Diver
• Passport Diver Program
• Try Scuba
• Scuba Skills Update
• Scuba Rangers (after completing the Scuba Rangers Instructor training)
• First Aid and CPR Programmes

SSI Authorized Scuba Schools and the New Instructor

As a new Instructor, your first few classes can be a little intimidating. When you work for an SSI Authorized Scuba School, you are teaching in an established scuba school with experienced instructors. They can assist with your first few courses and they have a wealth of knowledge to help you progress.

Already an Instructor and Just Need to Crossover?

SSI has a convenient crossover program for instructors affiliated with recognized agencies. Our premise is that since you are already an instructor, you only need to learn how SSI's Teaching System and Education Philosophy function. Contact Julian Negri for more information on the crossover programme.
