Certification Process

Step 1. Of our Certification Process

For your convenience we can now offer these methods to obtain the training materials required by standard for the student or professional candidate.  Each person completing an ITDA Official Diver or IHMP First-Aid Certification, MUST own the training materials for the Certification level to be achieved.

Our International Standards require that all students or professional candidates MUST have official ITDA/IHMP International Training materials in one of the following or multiple formats... 

Once you have registered your training materials pack your Certification will be issued with a rapid FREE (fast-track) .PDF e-cert Card, mailed directly to you or your instructor...

• Download as e-materials in .PDF e-book, HTML5 As Flipbook or as other requested format
• Purchase a USB Strap or Materials on a tablet
• Purchase from your Instructors or Trainer
• Hard Copy and Loan Materials are also available

Step 2. Begin and Complete the Theory and Practical Training

Once you have your training materials you can complete the manual or workbook, the ITDA Instructor or ITDA Trainer may offer some short presentations to help you to better and completely understand the material, we can also supply the presentations directly by email or download to you for a small additional cost... 

The in-water training can only commence when you have completed the theory and passed the quiz or exam...  If you are studying online you will need to request  an application for an e-certificate from our HQ Admin.  admin@diveitda.com Instructors may in some circumstances combine the learning modules with in-water training directly after... They are also able to be very flexible about helping you to organise your time, around the course program, if your time is limited.

Step 3. Assessment, Evaluation and Quiz/Exam - Certification Final Process

As our training programs are all modular-based, if you have difficulty with a skill or a section of theory, your instructor may decide to "Move On" to the next section and "Come Back" to it later... The exception to this is with critical skills, (Any Skill where a serious accident or injury could occur) which MUST be completed to the satisfaction of the instructor to 100%... 

Theory Pass rate is 80% and skills development is also to 80% with the exception above of critical skills... ITDA Certifications are earned!

Continuous Process of Assessment and Evaluation

As we operate on a process of continuous assessment and evaluation, your instructor will keep you informed of your progress at each module stage, and will also advise if any remedial training or practice is required to meet ITDA Standards for certification.  In some unique cases the instructor may determine that you may not make the standard and there is a timescale problem...

They can in these circumstances offer a lesser certification or may even restrict your certification to supervised diving until more experience is attained...

About your Personal Safety

This is for your own safety as although diving is a very safe sport and there are very few accidents, if your instructor is in any doubt about you being at risk, then they are obliged to not certify you at the level requested...

ITDA Group HQ will NOT accept complaints about standards issues, unless it is to report a standards violation by an ITDA Professional...
