These courses are tailored to develop and assess the instructional competencies of candidates, enabling them to teach at various diver levels. Key Details Course Structure: The PSAI Instructor Qualification Course (IQC) is a rigorous program designed to evaluate and certify instructors at different diving levels. The duration varies, with longer durations for more advanced levels. Each course level is taught separately to maintain focus and depth. Curriculum Requirements: The IQC focuses on evaluating the candidate’s ability to convey subject matter appropriate to the desired level effectively. It includes reviewing the fundamentals of instruction but does not completely revisit all material from the diver level course. Course Completion Steps: The course includes paperwork and administrative review, timed written examinations (both diver and instructor levels), equipment configuration and setup evaluation, open water dives for skill and instructional evaluation, academic lesson presentations, and final evaluations. Course Content Classroom Work : Candidates must complete a minimum of two lecture presentations, along with corresponding written examinations. This typically requires 3 to 4 hours and tests both fundamental and advanced understanding of diving concepts. Confined Water Demonstrations : Specific demonstrations in confined water settings are required, the duration of which varies but is sufficient for a complete evaluation of instructional competence. Open Water Demonstrations : Two open water dives are mandatory, including a normal dive to assess the candidate’s diving competence and a second dive where the candidate functions as the instructor, providing a briefing for a dive relevant to the level pursued. Prerequisites Age Requirement: Candidates must be at least 18 years old. Certification Requirements: Candidates must already be certified as instructors at the level listed in the specific IQC’s prerequisites. Completion of the diver level course at the level sought in the IQC is mandatory. Experience Requirements: Candidates must possess the minimum diving and instructional experience required for the specific IQC. Equipment for Technical Levels: For Technical Level IQCs, candidates must ha… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included PSAI Diver Manual and Instructor Guide for the desired level.
