DIVE LEADER - SHARE YOUR ADVENTURE AS A PRO IN THE DIVING INDUSTRY
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.
- 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
Why SSI Instructors
are More Marketable
- SSI
Instructors possess business knowledge that instructors from other agencies don't.
The expanded course content of the SSI ITC gives you an edge over "teaching
only" programs and makes you a much more valuable, well-rounded employee.
- SSI
Instructors represent the best of both worlds. You are trained to use the award-winning
SSI Teaching System and you are trained to be a skilled educator.
SSI
Instructors are able to conduct the Universal Referral Program. This program allows
you to complete referral dives through six different agencies: IDEA, NASDS, NAUI,
PDIC, SSI and the YMCA. This is particularly valuable to resorts that receive
customers affiliated with various certification agencies.
