Instructor Preparation Course

$550.00

To help you transition from a Dive Master / Assistant Instructor onto the Instructor Training Course, we highly recommend all candidates attend an Instructor Preparatory Course.

Two days of intensive revision of the higher levels of dive theory, dive skill demonstration and rescue skills that you must master, before commencing your Instructor Training Course.

 

  • Attending the ITC prep course allows you time to bring your skills and theory knowledge up to the level required for your all-important ITC- giving you the opportunity to work with our Instructor Trainers before the ITC starts.
