Simple Instructor Cross over
When developing ISC, we recognized that the dive industry already possesses a set of Standards endorsed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), which serves as the foundation for Training Standards across all training agencies. We also acknowledge that instructors holding an ISO equivalent certification are already equipped with the necessary teaching skills. Hence, we designed our standards to be outcome-based, granting instructors the flexibility to choose how to teach a skill while adhering to our standards and recommended sequence. This approach enables SSI, PADI, RAID or any other ISO Complaint agency instructor to teach Open Water Students in their accustomed manner evaluated as competent by the instructor, the standard is met.
To illustrate this concept, let's consider the mask-clearing skill. While some agencies may specify a particular method for executing this skill, at ISC we provide a suggested approach. However, we understand that an instructor may have their preferred teaching method, or a student may feel more comfortable with a specific technique. Regardless, as long as the skill's objective is effectively demonstrated by the student and evaluated by the instructor, the standard is met.
Cross over Program involves:
✓ Online*
✓ Takes approximately a day
✓ Free for all dive centres and instructors
✓ Instructor membership is waived for the first year
ISC has made the crossover process simple while continuing to meet internationally accepted standards and protocols due to our outcome-based training Standards. Our crossover requires the following:
✓ Online registration
✓ Online medical screening (medical clearance may be required if you indicate a yes to any of the questions)
✓ A current ISO recognised instructor certification e.g. PADI, SSI, RAID, BSAC, NAUI, SDI, PSS, PDIC, etc., to be uploaded.
✓ Current Status within the last 6 months with an existing agency
✓ Instructor must not have any quality assurance or liability claims within the last 12 months (Screenshot required)
✓ Pass the online standards exam (25Q)
✓ > 100 dives logged
✓ > 60 hours underwater
*An ISC Instructor Trainer will verify the information online and will monitor the crossover, they may interview the candidate, and if they believe that a practical assessment is required, they will discuss this with you.
