 Certifications From ITDA Group

  ITDA Group Certifications Continued....

 Unique ITDA Process -  ITDA Group Philosophy

We do not believe that training safe, competent diving skills is enough... We do believe that for divers to be truly competent they MUST first be comfortable with the required skills as taught and practiced during training. And that this requires additional skills from the instruction team covering a process of continual assessment and evaluation before the student may be certified as competent to complete a module.

 One of the major causes of diving accidents is PANIC and this happens when divers have trained and even practiced skills to a standard but were not comfortable with their skills and therefore not really competent... See: ITDA Group Philosophy

 Unique Security Features

  In partnership with high security printers we have produced a holographic security seal which ensures that each ITDA Group Certification card is instantly verifiable as genuine.

  We also include the name, date of birth and colour photo of the person certified, plus their certification level, date certified and any restrictions on the certification such as depth limits or gases etc. Each certification carries a unique reference number. See card Security

 Certification Levels are Earned

   All levels of ITDA Group and IHMT Medical Training follow a strict curriculum and training syllabus to ensure that wherever and whenever the training is carried out the certification is earned by a combination of constant assessment and evaluation leading to an Internationally set competency level. 

We also have a Quality Assurance Process, where random students are surveyed about their training, and we have a free on-line QA Form which all students are advised of and can complete if desired. See:  Quality Survey Form  

 ITDA Group also offer a  formal complaint procedure and administration service for dealing with standard and compliance issues. See: Administration Page
